Sending a SIGKILL signal to child thread will terminate the whole process, xfs_copy will return an error value 137. This cause confuse for script to know whether the copy successes. Calling exit() in main thread can terminate the whole process and return the right value. Replace killall()+abort() with exit(1) to match the old way exit in error case. Also remove killall()+pthread_exit(NULL) since return 0 will be followed by an exit(0) to terminate the process. Bug story from Chrisoph Hellwig: Btw, I think the reason for this cruft is that xfs_copy was originally written using the IRIX sproc interface, and the port to pthreads didn't remove this gem: http://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=99535721110020&w=2 Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joe jin <joe.jin@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Chrisoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- copy/xfs_copy.c | 30 +----------------------------- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/copy/xfs_copy.c b/copy/xfs_copy.c index 39517da..39bb9d7 100644 --- a/copy/xfs_copy.c +++ b/copy/xfs_copy.c @@ -217,25 +217,6 @@ handle_error: } void -killall(void) -{ - int i; - - /* only the parent gets to kill things */ - - if (getpid() != parent_pid) - return; - - for (i = 0; i < num_targets; i++) { - if (target[i].state == ACTIVE) { - /* kill up target threads */ - pthread_kill(target[i].pid, SIGKILL); - pthread_mutex_unlock(&targ[i].wait); - } - } -} - -void handler(int sig) { pid_t pid = getpid(); @@ -400,8 +381,7 @@ read_wbuf(int fd, wbuf *buf, xfs_mount_t *mp) if (buf->length > buf->size) { do_warn(_("assert error: buf->length = %d, buf->size = %d\n"), buf->length, buf->size); - killall(); - abort(); + exit(1); } if ((res = read(fd, buf->data, buf->length)) < 0) { @@ -591,11 +571,6 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) parent_pid = getpid(); - if (atexit(killall)) { - do_log(_("%s: couldn't register atexit function.\n"), progname); - die_perror(); - } - /* open up source -- is it a file? */ open_flags = O_RDONLY; @@ -1154,9 +1129,6 @@ main(int argc, char **argv) } check_errors(); - killall(); - pthread_exit(NULL); - /*NOTREACHED*/ return 0; } -- 1.7.1 _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
