Description Steven Dake 2011-02-22 19:42:20 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #679531 +++

Description of problem:
If a read/write occurs while a signal is delivered to openais, the signal could interrupt the read/write operation.  Hunt down all read/write operations in corosync of fixed length and add mechanism to handle interrupted read/write system calls.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
corosync-1.2.3

How reproducible:
theoretical problem, could be cause of ring id file being zero.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. none known
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
read and write operations on files read or write may only return partial read or  partial write.

Expected results:
read or write operations should return full length of read/write even when signals interrupt the operation.

Copy from original bug:

> Reading signal(7) man page isn't very clear about restarts (it says disks do
> not count as "slow medium" and don't return EINTR if interrupted with SIGACTION
> but other mediums do.
> 
> I wrote a test case attached which verifies this manpage behavior with 1gb of
> reads couldn't get a short read operation.  It says this may be linux specific,
> so if people report this in the future on other platforms we can reopen.

Test case:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=480526&action=diff

So closing as notabug same as original bug.
