            Bug ID: 16719
           Summary: systemtap runs hold vmlinux file descriptor open
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: lars at pixar dot com

Hello,

As long as stap is running, it holds a file descriptor open for the vmlinux
file. This makes it difficult to do volume maintenance for the filesystem
containing that file while stap scripts are running.

Can this file descriptor be closed once the kernel module is built?

thanks!
