Facter 1.6.12-rc2 Highlights
=====================(#10819) Avoid reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby
Reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby can cause hangs in certain
versions of
the Linux kernel. The problem appears when a puppet agent is run
with --listen,
which hold open a socket, and then ruby reads from
/proc/self/mounts. When this
occurs ruby calls select on the open filehandles which triggers a bug in the
kernel that causes the select to hang forever.
This commit uses an exec of cat instead of ruby file reading
operations, which
avoids the ruby interpreter having to call select and trigger the bug.
It appears that only /proc/self/mounts has this problem. Other
areas of /proc
were tested and did not cause the error.
