I wrote a file test.c: int main() { char buff[4096]; int ret; int fd; printf("pid=%d\n",getpid()); while (1) { fd = open("/proc/partitions", O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno)); return 0; } ret = read(fd, buff, 4096); if (ret <= 0) printf("ret=%d, %s, %ld\n", ret, strerror(errno), lseek(fd,0,SEEK_CUR)); close(fd); } exit(0); } You can reproduce by: 1:while true;do cat /proc/partitions > /dev/null ;done 2:./test I reviewed the code and found: >>static void *show_partition_start(struct seq_file *seqf, loff_t *pos) >>{ >> static void *p; >> p = disk_seqf_start(seqf, pos); >> if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos) >> seq_puts(seqf, "major minor #blocks name\n\n"); >> return p; >>} test cat /proc/partitions p = disk_seqf_start()(Not NULL) p = disk_seqf_start()(NULL because pos) if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos) Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma --- block/genhd.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/block/genhd.c b/block/genhd.c index cac7366..d839723 100644 --- a/block/genhd.c +++ b/block/genhd.c @@ -835,7 +835,7 @@ static void disk_seqf_stop(struct seq_file *seqf, void *v) static void *show_partition_start(struct seq_file *seqf, loff_t *pos) { - static void *p; + void *p; p = disk_seqf_start(seqf, pos); if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos) -- 1.7.9.5 ????{.n?+???????+%?????ݶ??w??{.n?+????{??G?????{ay?ʇڙ?,j??f???h?????????z_??(?階?ݢj"???m??????G????????????&???~???iO???z??v?^?m???? ????????I?
