Should have been fixed by:
9f0d793b52eb2266359661369ef6303838904855
At least I have my fingers crossed hoping so. I can't make it happen
with that patch.

I do not recall anyone on LKML actually ever doing any work towards
fixing this issue so, yes, it is still open.

I think it is fixed in 2.6.31.5. I can't reproduce the problem with it.

It was fixed by mainline commit c8e33141911bf8fe87dc6c92793b9a59b2be0130
("tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robust"), which got back-ported
to 2.6.31.5 as commit 86d23a057.

I can confirm that the keyboard is no longer missbehaving here with 31.5

This is definitely reproducible on 2.6.31.4 on CentOS 5.4, I'll likely
try 2.6.31.5 shortly, but it doesn't seem like any of the 2.6.31.5
patches touch inotify..

I guess there you have it... everybody
confirms this is fixed.
safe to say yes close, but not until the patch
has been pushed to the main tree..

It's a restorecond bug. restorecon acted as if watch descriptors
could never be reused. They weren't on old kernels and it's possible
they are reused now. Restorecon was fixed.

a change in the kernel caused a buggy userspace program to break. I
know how to put the kernel back the way it was, but I don't know if we
call this a regression, you guys tell me.

Yes, we do, AFAICS. The policy is not to break user space, even if it happens
to work by accident.

But if we make a rule of "never break even bad user programs" then
we also should never plug security holes because that breaks a
user program expecting that attack vector :)
Silly example, but the point is we need to decide if the
user program would have done something wrong eventually
anyway (as in if the system was up long enough, they would
have hit a duplicate id and failed with the old kernel) so
the kernel change just makes it easy to hit the user code bug.

Well, that's why this rule is not carved in stone.
Clearly, there are some cases in which we can't afford keeping the buggy user
space happy, not only security-related.

Bug is still present in 2.6.32-rc5.
(I'm currently testing Mel's patches.)
Thanks.
