Subject: [PATCH v2 13/13] examples/eventdev_pipeline: make signal handler safe
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 10:03:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907170454.351647-14-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907170454.351647-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
This example was calling functions like rte_exit and printing from a
signal handler which is not async signal safe.
Revise to spit the two signal actions here:
- The handler for SIGINT and SIGTERM set a flag which causes main
loop to exit and proceed with normal clean shutdown. If a second
SIGINT is received the process will get default signal handler
(i.e process exit).
- The dump flag handler is changed form SIGTSTP (^Z) to use SIGUSR1
since that is more standard practice in Linux.
