Bug ID: 766341
Summary: Do not rely on memfd as it requires a fairly recent
kernel
Classification: Platform
Product: gtk+
Version: 3.20.x
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Backend: Wayland
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
QA Contact: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
GNOME version: ---
In the 3.19.x cycle the Wayland backend has been switched to memfd_create() to
avoid a number of issue with tmpdir[1]. Unfortunately memfd_create() is
available only from linux 3.17, while Debian stable (and many others) are stuck
with 3.16 or earlier.
Reintroducing the old mechanism as a fallback if memfd_create() fails would be
great.
