SubjectRe: 2.6.16-rc5-mm1
I have popped the patch stack back to including:
> trivial-cleanup-to-proc_check_chroot.patch
> proc-fix-the-inode-number-on-proc-pid-fd.patch

but not past that. It boots now, unlike before with the full patch
stack.

I will continue the hunt.

Meanwhile, on the side, I have a couple of permission problems to
report to Eric Biederman with apps that are complaining about not being
able to access /proc/<pid>/fd/[0-9]* files when before they could:

1) Logged in as root, running "/bin/ls -l /proc/*/fd/*"
causes some complaints. For example:

# /bin/ls -l /proc/2868/fd/?
/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/2868/fd/6: Permission denied
/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link /proc/2868/fd/7: Permission denied
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/0 -> /dev/null
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/1 -> /dev/pts/10
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/2 -> /dev/pts/10
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/3 -> /proc/sal/cmc/event
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/4 -> /proc/sal/cmc/data
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/6
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 18:39 /proc/2868/fd/7

I don't recall seeing any similar complaints before. My first reaction
is "wtf - I'm root - what's this permission denied error ?!?"

2) I have an SGI specific application that runs out of init on boot
that spews out some 50 or so "Permission denied" errors on
various /proc/<pid>/fd/* files, which it never did before that
I can recall.

For example, this app complained:

Cannot stat file /proc/1688/fd/3: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/1688/fd/4: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/1688/fd/5: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/1688/fd/6: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/1688/fd/7: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2781/fd/3: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2802/fd/1: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2802/fd/3: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2802/fd/4: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2878/fd/6: Permission denied
Cannot stat file /proc/2878/fd/7: Permission denied

You can see it is not complaining about all the fd's of a task,
but just some.

I might be confused in what patches I'm running, but I believe that
I am getting these permission denied errors with just the patches:

> trivial-cleanup-to-proc_check_chroot.patch
> proc-fix-the-inode-number-on-proc-pid-fd.patch
