From 5544c07aabea054590f70ece9af83636c698291c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: reimar Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:09:14 +0000 Subject: cache: Use sigaction() instead of signal() Signal() has an unavoidable race-condition on "broken by backwards-compatibility" systems like Solaris. (Upon receiving a signal, the handler is reset to SIG_DFL, thus a second signal will kill the process. The problem could also be reduced by re-installing the handler inside the handler, but there's still a race-condition and the risk of the handler being called inside the handler). git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@31738 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2 --- stream/cache2.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/stream/cache2.c b/stream/cache2.c index b492a17cd8..6e77cbcc7e 100644 --- a/stream/cache2.c +++ b/stream/cache2.c @@ -365,7 +365,8 @@ static void dummy_sighandler(int x) { static void cache_mainloop(cache_vars_t *s) { int sleep_count = 0; #if FORKED_CACHE - signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN); + struct sigaction sa = { .sa_handler = SIG_IGN }; + sigaction(SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL); #endif do { if (!cache_fill(s)) { @@ -373,7 +374,8 @@ static void cache_mainloop(cache_vars_t *s) { // Let signal wake us up, we cannot leave this // enabled since we do not handle EINTR in most places. // This might need extra code to work on BSD. - signal(SIGUSR1, dummy_sighandler); + sa.sa_handler = dummy_sighandler; + sigaction(SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL); #endif if (sleep_count < INITIAL_FILL_USLEEP_COUNT) { sleep_count++; @@ -381,7 +383,8 @@ static void cache_mainloop(cache_vars_t *s) { } else usec_sleep(FILL_USLEEP_TIME); // idle #if FORKED_CACHE - signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN); + sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN; + sigaction(SIGUSR1, &sa, NULL); #endif } else sleep_count = 0; -- cgit v1.2.3
