Some more tests this weekend; all looks fine. It appears that this also fixed the performance degradation that I reported early in this thread.
wow, I wouldn't have expected the EBADF fix patch to have any impact on performance. Maybe the build just behaved differently enough to take more time with the errors?
Again, benchmarks compiling a bunch of sources:
Case Linux kernel version msize cache duration (average)
A) EBADF fix only [1] 512000 loose 31m 14s B) EBADF fix only [1] 512000 mmap 44m 1s C) EBADF fix + clunk fixes [2] 512000 loose 29m 32s D) EBADF fix + clunk fixes [2] 512000 mmap 44m 0s E) 5.10.84 512000 loose 35m 5s F) 5.10.84 512000 mmap 65m 5s

Conclusion: all thumbs in my possession pointing upwards. :)
Thanks Dominique!
