Hi Ceph,

In RHEL 6.5, is the following scenario possible :

a) an OSD dlopen a shared library for erasure-code,
b) the shared library file is replaced while the OSD is running,
c) the OSD starts using the new file instead of the old one.

It seems unlikely but it would explain a weird stack trace at http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/9153#note-5 so I'm double checking ;-)


Well, it could be that it does so. I'm not 100% sure, but afaik it could happen that when you replace a library certain parts might not be in memory.

See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7767325/replacing-shared-object-so-file-while-main-program-is-running

Cheers
