SubjectRe: /proc/[0-9]*/maps where did the (deleted) status go?
I'm going to fine tune this report a little bit.  The behavior change is 
more subtle than I at first thought.

In 2.4: file that has been deleted, and is mapped will show as deleted
in the maps file
In 2.6: file that has been deleted, and is mapped will show as deleted
in the maps file

In 2.4: file that has been moved, and is mapped will show as deleted in
the maps file
In 2.6: file that has been moved, and is mapped will show the new name
in the maps file

While I don't see this as a bug in the kernel it certainly is a
regression difference. ...and I'd still like a way of tracking when the
filename changes. If anyone has a good suggestion let me know.

As a side note... this is the output of a file that has actually been
deleted. It looks different from the 2.4 version (note the "\040" is
something new):

40018000-40019000 rw-s 00000000 03:04 13355559
/home/j3gum/src/mmap/testfile.old\040(deleted)
