If // the child doesn't exit within the time specified, kills it. // // This function takes two approaches: first, it tries to use kqueue to // observe when the process exits. kevent can monitor a kqueue with a // timeout, so this method is preferred to wait for a specified period of // time. Once the kqueue indicates the process has exited, waitpid will reap // the exited child. If the kqueue doesn't provide an exit event notification, // before the timeout expires, or if the kqueue fails or misbehaves, the // process will be mercilessly killed and reaped. // // A child process passed to this function may be in one of several states: // running, terminated and not yet reaped, and (apparently, and unfortunately) // terminated and already reaped. Normally, a process will at least have been // asked to exit before this function is called, but this is not required. // If a process is terminating and unreaped, there may be a window between the // time that kqueue will no longer recognize it and when it becomes an actual // zombie that a non-blocking (WNOHANG) waitpid can reap. This condition is // detected when kqueue indicates that the process is not running and a // non-blocking waitpid fails to reap the process but indicates that it is // still running. In this event, a blocking attempt to reap the process // collects the known-dying child, preventing zombies from congregating. // // In the event that the kqueue misbehaves entirely, as it might under a // EMFILE condition ("too many open files", or out of file descriptors), this // function will forcibly kill and reap the child without delay. This // eliminates another potential zombie vector. (If you're out of file // descriptors, you're probably deep into something else, but that doesn't // mean that zombies be allowed to kick you while you're down.) // // The fact that this function seemingly can be called to wait on a child // that's not only already terminated but already reaped is a bit of a // problem: a reaped child's pid can be reclaimed and may refer to a distinct // process in that case. The fact that this function can seemingly be called // to wait on a process that's not even a child is also a problem: kqueue will // work in that case, but waitpid won't, and killing a non-child might not be // the best approach. void WaitForChildToDie(pid_t child, int timeout) { DCHECK_GT(child, 0); DCHECK_GT(timeout, 0); // DON'T ADD ANY EARLY RETURNS TO THIS FUNCTION without ensuring that // |child| has been reaped.
