Package: osdsh
Version: 0.7.0-9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
While upgrading osdsh from a local version to 0.7.0-9, I noticed
that osdctl started to hang again when executed directly after
osdsh. Even with patch 09-process-running-checks.dpatch applied,
there remains a race condition.
With the current design, the osdsh parent process forks a child
process, writes the child's pid to a file and exits. If osdctl is
started directly in succession, the fifo might not exist, as the
child process might not have created it yet.
With my local version, I had tested a real fix for this problem
(and subsequently forgotten about the patch). The only way to know
for sure that the fifo exists after osdsh has exited is to simply
create the fifo *before* forking the child process.
Regards,
Peter
