[opensuse-support] zypper ps suddenly shows entries like /memfd:unknown-usage:/usr/lib64/libQt5Qml.so.5
Since shortly "zypper ps" shows entries starting with /memfd: These entries are also present when using lsof on certain processes. It looks like this type has been introduced recently and zypper does not ignore these entries. I also see an entry /usr/sbin/haveged (deleted) for process haveged, which disappears after a restart of haveged. Howver /memfd: remains after killing the process and restarting it.

zypper does not ignore anything. It simply displays deleted files that are still opened. memfd is relatively new Linux IPC mechanism that passes anonymous memory region between processes. These regions are referenced using file descriptors, so they look like deleted files for all practical purposes. It is not the first time zypper is fooled by applications intentionally keeping reference to deleted files. There is no way to distinguish between files deleted as result of package update or due to any other activity.
I also see an entry /usr/sbin/haveged (deleted) for process haveged, which disappears after a restart of haveged. Howver /memfd: remains after killing the process and restarting it.
Of course it remains (or better re-appears), memfd is created by process as part of its normal activity.
Bug report?
And what fix do you suggest? I am not entirely thrilled by zypper ignoring specific file names and memfd looks just like a regular file otherwise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Just for interest, is there no other way of distinguishing memfd? It seems to me that linux would benefit from a uniform mechanism that allowed it to determine metadata about the underlying properties of any file-like object, such as object/filesystem-type. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Bug report?
I cannot reproduce it on Leap 15 with actual patches. I do have several processes using memfd but "zypper ps" does not list them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
