Description of problem:
xfs_copy used SIGKILL to kill its child thread before exit, that will end the whole process, so xfs_copy will exit with an error code 137. That will confuse script whether it successes.

This can fix it.

Subject: [PATCH] xfsprogs: xfs_copy: use exit() to replace killall()

Sending a SIGKILL signal to child thread will terminate the whole process,
xfs_copy will return an error value 137. This cause confuse for script to
know whether the copy successes.

Calling exit() in main thread can terminate the whole process and return the
right value. Replace killall()+abort() with exit(1) to match the old way
exit in error case. Also remove killall()+pthread_exit(NULL) since return 0
will be followed by an exit(0) to terminate the process.

Bug story from Christoph Hellwig:
Btw, I think the reason for this cruft is that xfs_copy was originally
written using the IRIX sproc interface, and the port to pthreads didn't
remove this gem:
