- * When the receiving thread dies, we need to have a way to make the polling
- * thread exit eventually. If all FDs hang up (normal case when the
- * lttng-sessiond stops), we can exit cleanly, but if there is a problem and
- * for whatever reason some FDs remain open, the consumer should still exit
- * eventually.
- *
- * If the timeout is reached, it means that during this period no events
- * occurred on the FDs so we need to force an exit. This case should not happen
- * but it is a safety to ensure we won't block the consumer indefinitely.
- *
- * The value of 2 seconds is an arbitrary choice.
