[PATCH 0/1] Point out the interactions of signalfd with epoll & fork

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Michael,

I was just hit by this interaction of signalfd with epoll & fork.
Basically if you add a signalfd file descriptor to epoll and then fork,
you won't receive notifications for sent signals,

Hopefully this addition to the man page will help avoid people head
scratching in the future.

I've added links and quotes to the sources for this problem in the
commit message.

Hopefully the text is OK. I don't really understand what is going on
underneath.

Cheers,
Andrew
