Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ds: Reset: replace Poller object early
Date: Wed,  4 Oct 2023 08:50:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231004085059.2115839-2-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231004085059.2115839-1-e@80x24.org>

Process shutdown can be chaotic and unpredictable.  Try to make
it more predictable by ensuring any PublicInbox::Select object
can't hold references to any objects.

This should fix the following error I saw in syslog during a deploy:

	Can't call method "FILENO" on an undefined value at
	.../PublicInbox/Select.pm line 34 during global destruction.

Replacing $Poller with PublicInbox::Select (instead of undef-ing
it) means we can avoid adding branches to ->epwait and ->close
before calls to ->ep_mod and ->ep_del, respectively.
