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.
