[lttng-dev] 回复： 回复： 回复： 回复： shm leak in traced application?

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

When this happpens, is the process holding a single (or very few) shm file references, or references to many 
shm files ? 

I wonder if you end up in a scenario where an application very frequently performs exec(), and therefore 
sometimes the exec() will happen in the window between the unix socket file descriptor reception and 
call to fcntl FD_CLOEXEC. 

Thanks, 

Mathieu
