| |
Hi,
Starting with kernel 3.15 the 'exe' symlink under /proc/<pid>/ acts diffrent than it used to in all the pre-3.15 kernels.
The usecase:
run /root/testbin (app that just sleeps) cp /root/testbin /root/testbin.new mv /root/testbin.new /root/testbin ls -al /proc/`pidof testbin`/exe
<=3.14: /root/testbin (deleted) >=3.15: /root/testbin.new (deleted)
Was the change intentional? It does render my system unusable and I failed to find a information about such change in the ChangeLog.
-- Piotr.
