Subject: [PATCH 10/21] system: simplify signal handler logic
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:20:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015112044.1999748-11-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015112044.1999748-1-berrange@redhat.com>
sigaction() can fail if
* The signal number is invalid
* The signal number is KILL / STOP
* The sigaction struct points to invalid memory
None of these scenarios can arise with our use of sigaction(), so
rather than try to handle failures, assert that the call passed.
