            Bug ID: 246597
           Summary: Race condition on mountd
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: [email protected]

While using mountd I noticed that if there is changes in exports file and
SIGHUP sent to mountd sometimes it omits some lines. It turned out that there
is race condition in mountd.c file.

        /* Expand svc_run() here so that we can call get_exportlist(). */
        for (;;) {
                if (got_sighup) {
                        get_exportlist();
                        got_sighup = 0; //TODO raise!!!
                }
                readfds = svc_fdset;
                switch (select(svc_maxfd + 1, &readfds, NULL, NULL, NULL)) {
                case -1:
                        if (errno == EINTR)
                                continue;
                        syslog(LOG_ERR, "mountd died: select: %m");
                        exit(1);
                case 0:
                        continue;
                default:
                        svc_getreqset(&readfds);
                }
        }

If mountd is processing get_exportlist and receives SIGHUP it will omit next
SIGHUP handle.

In my opinion this loop should look like this:

        /* Expand svc_run() here so that we can call get_exportlist(). */
        for (;;) {
                if (got_sighup) {
                        got_sighup = 0; //No race :)
                        get_exportlist();
                }
                readfds = svc_fdset;
                switch (select(svc_maxfd + 1, &readfds, NULL, NULL, NULL)) {
                case -1:
                        if (errno == EINTR)
                                continue;
                        syslog(LOG_ERR, "mountd died: select: %m");
                        exit(1);
                case 0:
                        continue;
                default:
                        svc_getreqset(&readfds);
                }
        }

I tested it in my production environment.
