[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH 17/19] libxl: do not leak spawned middle children
libxl__spawn_spawn would, when libxl__spawn_detach was called, make
the spawn become idle immediately. However it still has a child
process which needs to be waited for: the `detachable' spawned
child.
This is wrong because the ultimate in-libxl caller may return to the
application, with a child process still forked but not reaped libxl
contrary to the documented behaviour of libxl.
Instead, replace libxl__spawn_detach with libxl__spawn_initiate_detach
which is asynchronous. The detachable spawned children are abolished;
instead, we defer calling back to the in-libxl user until the middle
child has been reaped.
Also, remove erroneous comment suggesting that `death' callback
parameter to libxl__ev_child_fork may be NULL. It may not, and there
are no callers which pass NULL.
Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Changes in v3 of series:
* Now also remove erroneous comment about NULL fork death callback.
