Hello,

please consider accepting following linux specific back-ports developed by ADIT audio team. The patches allow proper responsiveness to some failure states on linux and fix the hang ups that would occur otherwise.

Best Regards,
Adam Miartus

This would be required so that the polling concept can be used to wait
on signals as well as wait for events from the other threads.

(cherry picked from adit)

… event

On failure, currently the jack thread exits without notifying the jackd.
So jackd is just waiting for the signals, unaware of the failure.
With this implementation, on error threads can post an event to jackd
notifying it to to exit.

These look good to me. Thank you! The added signal setup should really be moved to jackctl_setup_signals() in a followup commit (these ones are cherry picks and it is good to keep them like this instead of rewriting git history). For jackdbus at least, it would be good to have epoll() call on the side of the control API user/caller (jackd, jackdbus). Extending the Control API with notion of either libevent (should work on Windows too), or similar abstraction, will achieve this goal.

I added jackctl_finish_signals() to the API: LADI/jack2@ae7b5d0

It is a function to call for cleaning,
after waiting on a signal set,
to undo the jackctl_setup_signals() and restore to previous state.

thank you for reviewing and refactoring. looks better to me as it is now after your changes.

Some observations. I don't really know JACK-specific details, please double-check my conclusions with that in mind.


while (waiting) {
#if defined(sun) && !defined(__sun__) // SUN compiler only, to check
sigwait(&sigmask->signals);
fprintf(stderr, "Jack main caught signal\n");

Should a library API function such as this really print errors directly to stderr like this? I'm not asking this rhetorically, I genuinely don't know what the expectation is regarding jackctl API behavior. I wanted to bring this up just in case it matters.

not sure either, but logging is not consistent all over jack2, some functions use printf some jack_log/jack_error. Its not clear to me when to use what...

if (errno == EINTR) {
continue;
} else {
fprintf(stderr, "Jack : poll() failed with errno %d\n", -errno);

Regardless of how error reporting should work here, printing the negation of errno seems bizarre. AFAIK only kernel code uses negative errno values due to implementation reasons, but in this situation I can't see how it's anything but a magic number that also happens to be even less useful than an unmodified errno. If there must be stderr output, why not just call strerror(errno)?

This and a handful of other lines don't conform to the style of the rest of the code. AFAIK there should be a space after if, for, etc.

int err;
struct pollfd pfd[JackFDCount];
struct signalfd_siginfo si;
memset(pfd, 0, sizeof(pfd));

Each struct pollfd::fd should be initialized to -1, not 0.

fail:
for(int i = 0; i < JackFDCount; i++) {
if(pfd[i].fd != 0) {

This is wrong. If eventfd() fails then close(-1) gets called here. Initialize all fds to -1 and compare against that as the canonical "invalid fd" value.

thanks @imaami I can have a look at this over the holidays
