From: Jérémie Galarneau Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 14:15:59 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Fix: semaphore semantics are expected from notification command eventfd X-Git-Tag: v2.11.0-rc1~568 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d72c8834befc320e91576140ed0abace2eabbf7a;hp=ce4d40839ac3beef1a58730d3636a522497bc60f Fix: semaphore semantics are expected from notification command eventfd The notification command queue currently expects eventfd() to behave according to EFD_SEMAPHORE semantics. Right now, multiple commands could be enqueued and reading the eventfd resets its internal counter to 0. This will cause the notification thread to never process the next command. EFD_SEMAPHORE will ensure that poll/epoll signals that there is info available for reading until the eventfd's internal counter returns to 0.
