<@MyCatVerbs>
ToxicFrog: what? But the kernel hides that...
00:48
<@ToxicFrog>
MyCatVerbs: context?
00:51
<@MyCatVerbs>
If I fd = open("foo.block",...), map = mmap(fd,...), then someone rm's foo.block from another (or even the same) process, the mmap()'d region continues to work just fine.
00:51
<@MyCatVerbs>
Although data there will be headed for RAM or swap rather than actually being written into the filesystem, naturally.
00:53
<@ToxicFrog>
Aah. Evince.
00:53
<@ToxicFrog>
Yeah. It shouldn't remove the underlying data unless the file has no links left.
00:54
<@ToxicFrog>
I suspect that evince is actually not holding the file open or something.
00:54
<@ToxicFrog>
Or possibly it periodically reopens the file to see if it's changed or something.
00:57
<@MyCatVerbs>
Yeah, that's usually a useful feature. gv does that.
00:57
<@MyCatVerbs>
I'm perplexed by the idea that nobody thought of the edge case where, y'know, the file gets mv'd or rm'd or something, though.
00:58
<@MyCatVerbs>
It's not like it's a really rare thing to happen. Surely at least one of the devs has done it by accident while reorganising files? Oh well.
00:58
<@MyCatVerbs>
No point kvetching anyway, unless I feel like dropping a patch.
01:00
<@ToxicFrog>
Yeah.
