From e9d373c4fc63458e812eaac6aef324f1b45fd607 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Cook Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:29:58 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [perl #119893] avoid waiting on pid 0 When a filehandle is cloned into a standard handle, do_openn() copies the pid from the original handle in PL_fdpid to the standard handle and zeroes the entry for the original handle, so when the original handle was closed Perl_my_pclose() would call wait4pid() with a pid of 0. With v5.19.3-614-gd4c0274 I modified wait4pid(), perl's waitpid/wait4() wrapper, to allow a pid of zero through to the actual system call when available. These combined so that following v5.19.3-614-gd4c0274 in some circumstances closing the original handle would block by calling waitpid(0, ...) or wait4(0, ...), which waits for any child process in the same process group to terminate. This commit changes Perl_my_pclose() to wait for the child only when the stored pid is positive. --- MANIFEST | 1 + t/io/closepid.t | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ util.c | 14 ++++++++------ 3 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 t/io/closepid.t diff --git a/MANIFEST b/MANIFEST index 5501d78..47e0c1d 100644 --- a/MANIFEST +++ b/MANIFEST @@ -4993,6 +4993,7 @@ time64.h 64 bit clean time.h (header) t/io/argv.t See if ARGV stuff works t/io/binmode.t See if binmode() works t/io/bom.t See if scripts can start with a byte order mark +t/io/closepid.t See if close works for subprocesses t/io/crlf.t See if :crlf works t/io/crlf_through.t See if pipe passes data intact with :crlf t/io/data.t See if DATA works diff --git a/t/io/closepid.t b/t/io/closepid.t new file mode 100644 index 0000000..aa937f5 --- /dev/null +++ b/t/io/closepid.t @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +#!./perl + +BEGIN { + chdir 't' if -d 't'; + @INC = '../lib'; + require './test.pl'; +} + +if ($^O eq 'dos') { + skip_all("no multitasking"); +} + +plan tests => 3; +watchdog(10, $^O eq 'MSWin32' ?
