+Subject: [PATCH 1/5] When running do_package_write_deb, we have trees of
+ hardlinked files such as the dbg source files in ${PN}-dbg. If something
+ makes another copy of one of those files (or deletes one), the number of
+ links a file has changes and tar can notice this, e.g.:
+
+| DEBUG: Executing python function do_package_deb
+| dpkg-deb: building package `sed-ptest' in `/media/build1/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/sed/4.2.2-r0/deploy-debs/i586/sed-ptest_4.2.2-r0.3_i386.deb'.
+| tar: ./usr/lib/sed/ptest/testsuite/tst-regex2: file changed as we read it
+| dpkg-deb: error: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 1
+
+Tar returns an error of 1 when files 'change' and other errors codes
+in other error cases. We tweak dpkg-deb here so that it ignores an exit
+code of 1 from tar. The files don't really change (and we have locking in
+place to avoid that kind of issue).

+CentOS 5.8 kernels and headers support the sync_file_range() system call,
+but glibc 2.5 doesn't provide the syscall stub.  It appears that this
+problem is known but will never be fixed:

+  Bug 518581 - [RHEL5] glibc misses sync_file_range syscall interface 
+
+  Status:       CLOSED CANTFIX 
+  Last Closed:  2009-11-22 22:19:55

+
+  Description of problem:
+
+  glibc misses sync_file_range syscall interface.  The header file and
+  man page both say 'sync_file_range' should exist.  From man page,
+  sync_file_range should exist sinc kernel-2.6.17
+
+  Andreas Schwab 2009-08-21 03:24:24 EDT
+
+  It has only been added to glibc 2.6, and cannot be backported due to
+  ABI breakage.  You can always fall back to syscall(3).
+
+  Ulrich Drepper 2009-11-22 22:19:55 EST
+
+  As comment #1 says, no chance to backport this.
+
+  See the syscall man page for instructions.
+
+  Jon E 2010-03-19 10:32:37 EDT
+
+  then why document it if it's broken and you're not going to fix it?
+  .. might want to FTFM over at sync_file_range(2) - in the meantime -
+  borrowing from glibc 2.6 .. any thoughts on this implementation for a
+  hacky workaround for those still on your "ancient releases" .. (eg:
+  RHEL5.3)?:
+
+  #ifdef ULI_WONT_FIX_THIS_IN_GLIBC2.5
+  #define NR_sync_file_range 277
+  int sync_file_range (int fd, __off64_t from, __off64_t to, unsigned int flags)
+  {
+    return syscall (NR_sync_file_range, fd,
+                           __LONG_LONG_PAIR ((long) (from >> 32), (long) from),
+                           __LONG_LONG_PAIR ((long) (to >> 32), (long) to),
+                           flags);
+  }
+  #endif
+
+  assuming of course that you're on an x86_64 and include/asm-
+  x86_64/unistd.h has the correct entry
+
+  (fwiw - fio is starting to use this now)
+
+Rather than attempting to provide an implementation using syscall(),
+we take the more conservative route and ignore header support for
+sync_file_range() flags when the glibc version is <= 2.5.
