Lighttpd

Hello,

I posted a bug into Ubuntu launchpad about a bus error in lighttpd:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lighttpd/+bug/643518

This is an output of strace show this:

ioctl(14, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
read(14, 0x298dd70, 4159) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
epoll_ctl(12, EPOLL_CTL_MOD, 14, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=14, u64=14}}) = 0
epoll_ctl(12, EPOLL_CTL_MOD, 14, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=14, u64=14}}) = 0
epoll_wait(12, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=13, u64=13}}}, 10001, 1000) = 1
ioctl(13, FIONREAD, [613]) = 0
read(13, "GET /stats HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.t"..., 4159) = 613
setsockopt(13, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0
writev(13, [{"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: a"..., 163}], 1) = 163
open("/var/www/trashmail/htdocs/stats", O_RDONLY) = 24
fcntl(24, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
mmap(NULL, 26, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 24, 0) = 0x7ff6a72bc000
write(13, "221744625:0.00:1222:36391\n", 26) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
Process 332 detached

The reason is probably the following:
The file "stats" changed after lighttpd opened the file already and did a mmap on it.
When then lighttpd tried to read the file directly from the memory region with its system call, then lighttpd made a bus error because file changed and its seems that Linux marked the memory region as invalid.
I did not noticed this error on Solaris with its versionned filesystem ZFS. Maybe the behaviour is different on Linux with ext3. I don't know it exactly.

However: We were not sure in the Ubuntu bugs platform if this is a bug? Should lighttpd not output an error or at least exit gracefully?
At the other side I suppose there is not really a solution without loosing of performance because of probabling doing additional system calls and context switchings.

So is it a bug or not that lighttpd produces a bus error on file change while reading?
