Subject: [PATCH 2/2] t/httpd-unix: reliability for non-signalfd/EVFILT_SIGNAL
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 01:48:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200416014838.5939-3-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200416014838.5939-1-e@yhbt.net>

Perl seems unable to detect a pending signal (`PL_sig_pending' flag)
even in a sleep(1) loop which wakes up every second.

The (SIGTTOU|SIGUSR2|SIGQUIT) signal itself in the
`PL_psig_pend[sig]' array is not lost, so we can send SIGCHLD
to the process to force the `PL_sig_pending' into being set,
again.

I tested this commit in a loop with the following patch on a
Debian GNU/Linux system to disable signalfd use:

			my $cb = $sig->{$_};
