Hi, I'm a developer currently working at a company using libnetfilter, I came in late in development of the product and the code is pretty much complete. Due to debugging checks recently enabled, they want to be able to unblock and gracefully stop all threads before terminating the process. The problem then is that the thread which invokes nfct_catch never returns and blocks the thread from cleanly terminating. pthread_cancel is not an option since we develop on android and that platform doesn't stopping threads that way. I'm not that familiar with netfilter and am still reading up, from what I've read it doesn't seem like I can. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the events that trigger the registered handlers are all tied to interfaces being new/updated/down and thus I can't just use a handler that returns NFNL_CB_STOP when it next gets an event (at least not unless I trigger an event artificially say after setting a boolean flag in the registered handler to force it to stop). Is there any sort of signal mechanism I'm missing that could be used to force a return from the loop of nfnl_catch? Any help would be appreciated, even if it is to say you can't force catch to return. Thanks and have a nice day. -- Jeremy Pallats/starcraft.man Beginners Team/Wiki FG Member - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam Wiki Homepage - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
