From 365cb37029d0b81cb14d4d8a17adffc47fdf4548 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2016 10:08:18 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] library: find tty device name of process quicker The procps library attempts to work out the tty of a process through several methods. For things like /dev/tty123 or /dev/foo it works fine. For tty devices that put the minor number in a directory of the major name this fails. So then we have to fallback to stating things like the processes STDERR and try again. Considering a lot of processes sit on ttys such as /dev/pts/3 this is a lot of wasted time. At the point of entering driver_name we know "/dev/pts" and we know "3" we just didn't join them up the right way as this is old code. This change now looks for /dev/pts/3 as well. It does it after looking for /dev/pts3 so the behaviour is the same.
