Subject: delayacct: alignment changes break iotop
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:37:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101213113745.GE1620@bicker> (raw)

Iotop uses hardcoded offsets to find the taskstats struct members.
This got changed in 2.6.37 so it now iotop doesn't work on amd64.  The
offending commit is:

commit 85893120699f8bae8caa12a8ee18ab5fceac978e
Author: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 27 15:34:43 2010 -0700

    delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems

Brian Rogers gets the reported-by tag.  The bugzilla entry is:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24272

regards,
dan carpenter
