Subject: [PATCH 13/13] examples/eventdev_pipeline: make signal handler safe
Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 16:24:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906232716.496546-14-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260906232716.496546-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The handler called rte_exit(), rte_event_dev_dump() and (before the
previous patch) printf(), none of which are async-signal-safe.
rte_exit() in particular runs rte_eal_cleanup() and exit(), tearing
down the EAL from signal context while the worker lcores are still
running in it.
Set the done flag and let main() do the work:
- The second-signal path becomes _exit(), which is async-signal-safe.
This keeps the "hit ^C twice to give up on a clean shutdown" escape
hatch without running exit handlers from the handler.
- The --dump-dev dump on exit moves to main() after
rte_eal_mp_wait_lcore(), where it also gets the real dev_id instead
of the hardcoded 0.
- SIGTSTP sets cdata.dump_dev_signal, which schedule_devices() already
checks and drains on the scheduler lcore. That mechanism was present
but nothing ever set the flag. Note this makes the SIGTSTP dump
depend on a scheduler lcore being configured; there is no dump in
configurations without one.
dump_dev_signal is now written from signal context, so make it
volatile sig_atomic_t.
Unlike the rest of this series this one is not reported by
-fanalyzer: the handler is registered in main() after rte_eal_init(),
and the analyzer does not connect the registration to the handler
body there. Found by inspection while auditing the neighbours.
