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).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
