Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Improved exit()/_exit() handling
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:15:50 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251210051552.1157177-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
As discussed on IRC, while working on the forwarding extensions, I
discovered that failures at certain points of initialisation (in
particular tcp_init() or udp_init() can result in a zombie pasta child
process.
Here's a fix.
David Gibson (2):
treewide: Introduce passt_exit() helper
pasta: Clean up waiting pasta child on failures
