Carlos O'Donell 2020-01-07 20:33:16 UTC Doc Text A single threaded program with registered atfork handler and invoking fork from an asychronous-signal handler may deadlock on an internal implementation-dependent lock. The implementation of fork and atfork are adjusted to avoid the deadlock. Single threaded programs may now safely use fork from an asynchronous-signal handler with registered atfork handlers (though the usual limitations still apply).

Zuzana Zoubkova 2020-04-20 15:50:23 UTC Doc Text A single threaded program with registered atfork handler and invoking fork from an asychronous-signal handler may deadlock on an internal implementation-dependent lock. The implementation of fork and atfork are adjusted to avoid the deadlock. Single threaded programs may now safely use fork from an asynchronous-signal handler with registered atfork handlers (though the usual limitations still apply). .The `fork` function avoids certain deadlocks related to use of `pthread_atfork`

Previously, if a program registered an `atfork` handler and invoked `fork` from an asynchronous-signal handler, a defect in the internal implementation-dependent lock could cause the program to freeze. With this update, the implementation of `fork` and its `atfork` handlers is adjusted to avoid the deadlock in single-threaded programs.
