Comment 2 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2018-09-12 05:45:33 UTC
This was a regression in glibc-2.25 and I believe is fixed in 2.27.
Comment 3 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2018-09-15 01:45:45 UTC
Indeed updating to glibc-2.27 fixes that problem, and turns up another:

0:11:46 load avg: 5.74 [375/405/1] test_resource failed
test test_resource failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.5/work/Python-3.6.5/Lib/test/support/__init__.py", line 555, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kw)
  File "/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.6.5/work/Python-3.6.5/Lib/test/test_resource.py", line 172, in test_prlimit_refcount
    self.assertEqual(resource.prlimit(0, resource.RLIMIT_AS, BadSeq()),
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

Possible that it existed previously but the test bailed after the first failure.

matoro: is this already upstreamed? if not could you please file a bug for glibc and attach it there?

We submitted it but aurel seems to indicate it was incorrect:  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2022-October/142589.html

At this point I'm not confident I did it correctly, but aurel seems to have no inclination to correct it.  I'm also unsure if the fundamental objection to the behavior (breaking the expectation of getrlimit() returning some value x after a successful call to setrlimit(x)) is "blocking" or not.  If you could poke in and revive the thread it might stimulate discussion again.
