One PID may appear multiple times in a preloaded pidlist. (Possibly due to PID recycling but we have reports of the same task_struct appearing with different PIDs, thus possibly involving transfer of PID via de_thread().) Because v1 seq_file iterator uses PIDs as position, it leads to a message: > seq_file: buggy .next function kernfs_seq_next did not update position index Conservative and quick fix consists of removing duplicates from `tasks` file (as opposed to removing pidlists altogether). It doesn't affect correctness (it's sufficient to show a PID once), performance impact would be hidden by unconditional sorting of the pidlist already in place (asymptotically).
