[PATCH] trace-cmd: Plug startup race between flush_threads and recorders

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

 



As the SIGUSR1 handler is so far registered after forking the recorder
child, there is a small race window where a flush sent by the main
process can actually kill the child. Plug this by registering the signal
handlers before the fork. This also allows to unify SIGINT registration.
