:Hi,
:
:Playing around adding functionality to note/notepg (I attached a diff in
:case you want it) I came across a bug (not caused by my modifications
:btw :))
:
:Doing for example echo kill > /proc/somepid/[ctl/note/notepg] will cause
:a panic with the panic string "lockmgr: locking against myself", however
:opening the file and write()'ing to it works as expected. I don't know
:what bash is doing to cause this and for some reason I didn't get a
:crash dump but reproducing the bug should be a simple matter of doing
:echo kill > /proc/curproc/ctl
Yup. More mess in the vfs compatibility code. I'll fix it.
