Subject: [PATCH] iptables: flush stdout after every verbose log.
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2020 01:15:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200421081542.108296-1-zenczykowski@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com>

Ensures that each logged line is flushed to stdout after it's
written, and not held in any buffer.

Places to modify found via:
  git grep -C5 'fputs[(]buffer, stdout[)];'

On Android iptables-restore -v is run as netd daemon's child process
and fed actions via pipe.  '#PING' is used to verify the child
is still responsive, and thus needs to be unbuffered.

Luckily if you're running iptables-restore in verbose mode you
probably either don't care about performance or - like Android
- actually need this.

Test: builds, required on Android for ip6?tables-restore netd
  subprocess health monitoring.
