Bug #74268 [Com]: Opcache fails to detect directory symlink changes

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74268&edit=1 ID: 74268 Comment by: jake at qzdesign dot co dot uk Reported by: marshall at ahoy dot com Summary: Opcache fails to detect directory symlink changes Status: Open Type: Bug Package: opcache Operating System: Linux Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS PHP Version: 7.1.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: touching or updating the file in either the old or the new symlink does not resolve the issue - it can even be seen that code newly added into the old symlink gets executed. Adding opcache_reset() into the code in the old symlink does however resolve the issue for the next page load - thus showing that the issue is with OPcache. (PHP 7.3.33 LiteSpeed V7.9 Cloudlinux 1.3) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-10-07 10:06:08] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #77175 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-17 21:07:43] marshall at ahoy dot com Description: ------------ When a directory symlink is changed to a new target directory and the new target contains file names that were also in the old target directory, OPcache sometimes returns the old file instead of the new file. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 Mar 17 20:28 v -> v1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 Mar 17 20:22 test.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 17 20:22 v2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 17 20:21 v1 Both v1 and v2 contain home.php with different contents Changing the symlink v from v1 to v2 does not always cause the desired result. Sometimes OPcache alternates between the two different home.php pages. Using FPM/FastCGI with PHP Version 7.1.3-2+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 Same problem using PHP Version 7.0.15 Test script: --------------- test.php: <?php echo "This is test.php\n"; include("v/home.php"); ?> v1/home.php: <?php echo "This is v1/home.php\n"; v2/home.php: <?php echo "This is v2/home.php\n"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74268&edit=1
