[Bug 1990630] Re: [SRU] tracker-extract-3 crashed with signal 31 in __GI_epoll_create1()

[Benjamin Drung]

The diff looks good except for a few point of the patch metadata: The
author of the patch is Sam Thursfield and Applied-Upstream should point
to upstream GNOME instead of Debian salsa. I would change "Forwarded" to
"Origin" when taking the patch from there.

Title:
  [SRU] tracker-extract-3 crashed with signal 31 in __GI_epoll_create1()

Status in Tracker:
  Fix Released
Status in tracker-miners package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in tracker-miners source package in Jammy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Bug is impacting jammy desktop instances that uses tracker-miners
  package by default. It keeps restarting the service and this makes the
  CPU busy.

  [Where problems could occur]

  epoll_create1() is the preferred call over epoll_create(), and is used
  in GLib 2.74 and later due to glib!2868 (merged) so the error
  described below occurs pretty commonly

  [Test Case]

  * Enable proposed updates (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed)
  * Update tracker-extract to the version in -proposed: sudo apt install -t jammy-proposed tracker-extract
  * Check journalctl logs to see if `Disallowed syscall "epoll_create1" caught in sandbox` message disappeared and the service is not restarting due to this error.

  [Regression Potential]

  The patch doesn't modifies an existing behavior it only allows an
  additional syscall, so it shouldn't introduce regression

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Impact
  ------
  As seen by the number of duplicates, this is the most common tracker crash seen in Ubuntu 22.10.

  According to seeded-in-ubuntu, tracker-miners is included by default
  only in the Ubuntu Desktop flavor

  error after upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10
