The following reply was made to PR kern/97326; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Gavin Atkinson <gavin.atkinson@ury.york.ac.uk> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, bakul@bitblocks.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/97326: [linux] file descriptor leakage in linux emulation Date: Wed, 09 May 2007 17:58:53 +0100 The original behaviour was believed to have been fixed in src/sys/compat/linux/linux_stats.c version 1.83 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-May/002122.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-May/002127.html After the request for feedback (after the above messages), the following response was sent but seemingly never made it to PR trail http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-September/020014.html "I do not see the original behavoir but I do see a slow leak in skype. Every time a call is made (for example to the skype testing service) it leaks 10 to 15 descriptors to /dev/mixer0 + some more. About 75% opens are to /dev/mixer0. Still think this is an emulation problem not skype's. firefox etc. also seem to keep far too many files open. For example firefox has 500+ open descriptors) with 4 tabbed windows open. But in my limited testing can't tell if there is a leak. I am running linux_base-fc-4_7 on a one month old freebsd-current." Gavin
