This patch fixes (at least for us) the problem where rpciod still keeps references into the root fs even after it was daemonized.
I didn't get any reaction after posting this patch, neither positive nor negative.
In case you don't remember here's the patch again:
andreas@ws1:~/cvsdir {625} % cvs diff -C5 -rR_2-2-19~11 -rR_2-2-19~12 linux/net/sunrpc/sched.c Index: linux/net/sunrpc/sched.c =================================================================== RCS file: /raid5/cvs/repository/distribution/Base/linux/net/sunrpc/sched.c,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.6 retrieving revision 1.12 diff -C5 -r1.1.1.6 -r1.12 *** linux/net/sunrpc/sched.c 2001/03/25 16:37:42 1.1.1.6 --- linux/net/sunrpc/sched.c 2001/08/17 11:53:48 1.12 *************** *** 1066,1075 **** --- 1066,1076 ---- rpciod_pid = current->pid; up(&rpciod_running); exit_files(current); exit_mm(current); + exit_fs(current); spin_lock_irq(¤t->sigmask_lock); siginitsetinv(¤t->blocked, sigmask(SIGKILL)); recalc_sigpending(current); spin_unlock_irq(¤t->sigmask_lock);
Is there any reason for not including this in 2.2.20? It helps us getting rid of the initial ramdisk rootfs on our diskless clients...
