[RFC PATCH 2/8] vhost/vhost_task: Hook vhost layer into signal handler

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

 



This patch has vhost use get_signal to handle freezing and sort of
handle signals. By the latter I mean that when we get SIGKILL, our
parent will exit and call our file_operatons release function. That will
then stop new work from breing queued and wait for the vhost_task to
handle completions for running IO. We then exit when those are done.

The next patches will then have us work more like io_uring where
we handle the get_signal return value and key off that to cleanup.
