Linux-1.3.97 - kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 74 with broken flock() emulation

Linux-1.3.97 - kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 74 with broken flock() emulation

Post by Jeffrey E. Hundst » Wed, 01 May 1996 04:00:00



During a normal slackware boot with Linux-1.3.97 I get the following
lines:
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 74 with broken flock() emulation
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 75 with broken flock() emulation
kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 86 with broken flock() emulation

Is this a kernel problem or did I miss a release note on a change to
the kernel where I have to recompile *some* of the startup programs?

BTW:  Other than those errors (or warnings) it seems like the system
is working.

Older versions of libc emulate flock in a broken way.  If you upgrade
to libc version 5.2.18 or later, the message will go away.

The release note is hidden in /usr/src/linux/fs, I think in the
ChangeLog file.  This message was introduced in 1.3.95.

Read the file 'mandatory.txt' in linux/doc. It'll explain everything you
want to know :)

you must get new shared libraries and new gcc 2.7.2.

When and where was this announced?  At what release of the kernel
did it become necessary?  I read a previous message that
stated that all that was needed was a new libc.  Thank you.

1. Linux-1.3.97 - kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 74 with broken flock() emulation

As far as I know, you only need the new libc's. Probably both a.out
and elf. check file `which agetty` and  file `which lpd`. If they are
both elf, then only libc-5.3.12 from sunsite's pub/linux/GCC should do
it, otherwise you also need libc-4.7.6, the unofficial official a.out
update fixing the flock bug from sunsite's pub/linux/libs.
Alternatively, get util-linux-2.5 and recompile agetty as elf and
reinstall it and also fetch slackware-3.0's precompiled lpd (which is
elf). The latter might be wiser long term as a.out is not supported
anymore officially (that's why libc-4.7.6 is an unofficial update
although it has an official maintainer and everything).

Whilst you are fetching things, you might as well get kernel 1.99.4 or
higher from
ftp.cs.helsinki.fi/pub/People/Torvalds_Linus/v1.3/linux-pre2.0...
and read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/* (especially Changes)

Perhaps this could help to clarify ?
