Dear Maintainer,

when running needrestart it always suggest that sddm needs to be restarted,
even when sddm ist fresly (re-)started and no update has taken place.

Running needrestart -v gives the following explanation:

...
[main] #1244357 uses deleted /memfd:JITCode:QtQml
[main] #1244357 is a child of #1244355
[main] #1244355 exe => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sddm/sddm-helper
...

It looks like the JIT compiled Qt code erroneously triggers the detection.
Adding "qr(^/memfd:JITCode:QtQml)," to the blacklist_mappings silences this
warning. Would you consider to add this exception to the needrestart package?

Regards

Michail Bachmann

I'm seeing similar errors running `needrestart -v` within a KDE session.  Similar to the reporter above, this occurs in a fresh session when no software has been updated.  In my case, it reports that `user@1000.service` needs to be restarted due to a deleted `/memfd:JITCode:QtQml`

[main] #2794 is a child of #990
[main] #990 exe => /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
[main] trying systemctl status
[main] #990 is user@1000.service

thanks


Hi,

thanks for reporting. I've updated the default configuration upstream
to ignore the all memfd mappings. The bugfix will be part of
needrestart 3.6+.
