[libvirt] [PATCH v6] util: Set SIGPIPE to a no-op handler in virFork
Posted by Wang Yechao 4 years, 4 months ago
Libvirtd has set SIGPIPE to ignored, and virFork resets all signal
handlers to the defaults. But child process may write logs to
stderr/stdout, that may generate SIGPIPE if journald has stopped.

So set SIGPIPE to a dummy no-op handler before unmask signals in
virFork(), and the handler will get reset to SIG_DFL when execve()
runs. Now we can delete sigaction() call entirely in virExec().

v3 patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-October/msg00934.html

Changes in v4:
 -  don't block SIGPIPE, ignore it when invoke VIR_FORCE_CLOSE and virCommandMassClose

Changes in v5:
 - chang from SIG_IGN to a no-op handler in child process

Changes in v6:
 - add a comment and delete sigaction() call entirely in virExec

'make syntax-check' didn't like {} on the same line like this.

I've fixed that trivial style issue and pushed to git.
