Hi, all. I've had at least two reports of errors like:
kmod: waitpid(%d,NULL,0) failed, returning = -512.
when using 2.1.11x kernels with my devfs patch (and apparently the
errors go away when devfs is not used). Something I'm trying to
establish whether anything *actually fails* when this message pops
up. I'm starting to suspect that it's an annoying message and nothing
more: no functionality is lost.
This smells like signals going to the task loading the module.
Perhaps there needs to be some signal masking done in the kmod
code paths?
Later,
