Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 431928
Clean shutdown of broker.
Last modified: 2009-05-07 16:09:31 EDT
Description of problem: src/qpidd.cpp defines a signal handler to shut down the broker, however calling Broker::shutdown() directly from the handler is not async-signal safe. The handler should push a shutdown event into the epoll poller (making sure to use only async-safe functions!) and let a poller thread actually do the shutdown. Requires extension of the Poller to allow polling for non-socket events, e.g. allow arbitrary file descriptors.
Better solution from astitcher: stopping the poller is async-signal safe, and causes main() to return so the Broker dtor is called. Move all other shutdown code (logging, management shutdown) to the broker dtor or to main() after Broker::run()
Fixed in qpidd-0.2-24.el5, qpidc-0.2-24.el5, and rhm-0.2-18.el5
