Hi All, I found this while trying to track down a hang in t5562 - this isn't the fix, but here it is something that could be considered a code-inspection. If there have been random unexplained hangs when git runs as a daemon, this might be the cause. According to many systems (other than Linux), the revents field is supposed to be 0 on return to poll(). This was the cause of some heart-ache a while back in compat/poll/poll.c. I am not certain whether that copy of poll() is used in daemon, but I wanted to point out that the value is being returned to poll, outside of compat/poll/poll.c and may present a potential for poll returning an error on that FD due to random values that might be in revents. Please see 61b2a1acaae for a related change/justification. diff --git a/daemon.c b/daemon.c index 9d2e0d20ef..1e275fc8b3 100644 --- a/daemon.c +++ b/daemon.c @@ -1194,6 +1194,7 @@ static int service_loop(struct socketlist *socklist) } handle(incoming, &ss.sa, sslen); } + pfd[i].revents = 0; } } } Regards, Randall
