When a sigchld is received from an alien child, main_pid is set to 0 then service_enter_running calls main_pid_good to check if the child is running. This incorrectly returned true because kill(main_pid, 0) would return >= 0.
This fixes an error where a service would die and the cgroup would become empty but the service would still report as active (running). --- src/core/service.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/core/service.c b/src/core/service.c index 20990d2..dadd981 100644 --- a/src/core/service.c +++ b/src/core/service.c @@ -1865,7 +1865,7 @@ static int main_pid_good(Service *s) { /* If it's an alien child let's check if it is still * alive ... */ - if (s->main_pid_alien) + if (s->main_pid_alien && s->main_pid > 0) return kill(s->main_pid, 0) >= 0 || errno != ESRCH; /* .. otherwise assume we'll get a SIGCHLD for it, -- 1.8.3 _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
