[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] libxl: Add new "notify-only" childproc mode

[George Dunlap]

libxl needs to be able to know when processes it forks have completed.

At the moment, libxl has two basic mode (with some variations).  In
one mode -- libxl_sigchld_owner_libxl* -- libxl sets up its own
SIGCHLD signal handler, and also handles the event loop that allows
libxl to safely block until the child in question is finished (using a
self-pipe for the SIGCHLD handler to notify the waiters that it's time
to look for reaped children).

In the other mode, libxl does not set up the SIGCHLD handler, nor does
it do anything with processing the event loop; it expects the library
caller to handle the event loop itself.

The golang runtime manages its own processes, and thus must use
SIGCHLD itself; and it has an easy way for other users to get SIGCHLD
notifications.  However, because its event loop is hidden away behind
abstractions, it's not easy to hook into; and there's no need -- the
golang runtime assumes that C function calls may block, and handles
everything behind the scenes.

Introduce a new mode, libxl_sigchld_owner_notify, in which libxl sets
up the SIGCHLD event handling machinery, but relies on the caller to
tell it when a SIGCHLD happens.

Call these two actions "notify" (for the self-pipe notification
machinery) and "handler" (for the actual SIGCHLD handler).

Provide a new external function, libxl_childproc_sigchld_notify(), for
library users to call when a SIGCHLD happens.  Have this call
sigchld_handler().

Rename chldmode_ours() to chldmode_notify(), and use it to determine
whether to set up the notification chain.

When setting up the notification chain, do everything except setting
up the signal handler in "notify-only" mode.

defer_sigchld() and release_sigchld() do two things: they modify the
signal handler, and grab and release locks.  Refactor these so that
they grab and release the locks correctly in "notify-only" mode, but
don't tweak the signal handler unless it's been set up.

With the golang bindings ported to use this change, domain creation
works.

NB an alternate approach would be to make libxl_sigchld_owner_mainloop
*always* set up and tear down the self-pipe notification mechanisms,
and then simply expose libxl_childproc_sigchld_notify().  However,
this would entail grabbing a libxl-wide global lock (across all libxl
ctx's) twice on every fork.  This should be avoided for callers which
don't need it.

v2:
- Make libxl_childproc_sigchld_notify() reentrant by simply calling
  sigchld_handler directly.  Mention this in the documentation to prompt
  people to think about saving and restoring errno themselves.
- Move whitespace fixes to another patch
- Make braces snuggly in line with libxl coding style.
- Remove XXX comment.

FWIW, attached is a C program that behaves as I think golang would
behave, which hangs in `mainloop` mode.

It's actually got two modes: Run it without any arguments, and it will
run in "default" mode (not setting up a SIGCHLD nor setting
childproc_mode);  run with at least one argument (whatever it is), it
will run in `mainloop` mode, and hang after the second SIGCHLD event.

FAOD, with the fixes in your other series, I consider this patch to now
be moot.

Right.  FTOAD, I don't think there was a problem with this patch
principle; it's just not needed now.  If someone comes up with a use
for it in the future then it can be resurrected and we should do a
detailed code review of it then.

Ian.
