Subject: [PATCH v2 04/13] examples/symmetric_mp: do not print or exit in handler
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 10:03:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907170454.351647-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907170454.351647-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The SIGINT and SIGTERM handler called printf() and exit() which are
not async-signal-safe.
Set a flag, let the forwarding loops return, and print the stats from
main() after joining the lcores.
