Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cyclictest: fix growing shm stat file
Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 22:24:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260301212407.3146506-2-lbckmnn@mailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260301212407.3146506-1-lbckmnn@mailbox.org>
On a received USR2 signal, the current statistics are written to a file
in shared memory. Before that happens, it is truncated to zero to clear
it.
However, currently the shm file keeps growing with each received signal
because the seek pointer is not updated by ftruncate.
This is fixed by calling fseek after truncating.
