Bug ID: 17214
Summary: Expose a function to reset the PID cache
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: nptl
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: sstewartgallus00 at mylangara dot bc.ca
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
GLibc caches PIDs. Much has been said about this. Regardless, some people have
to use the low level clone system call which does not update the PID cache (for
making new processes only, trying to make one's own threads that interact with
NPTL would be a mess). I would like a way to reset the PID cache so that the
low level clone system call is usable.
