From 5bdce6ff546e00673f9f515d2165d02901e858aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Alexander V. Chernikov" Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 21:26:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove deadlock in rc caused by pwait waiting for itself. The following situation can trigger the deadlock: 1) Long time ago a_service was started through rc.d 2) We want to restart a_service and issue service a_service restart 3) rc.subr reads current process PID (via file or process), sends TERM signal and runs pwait with PID harvested 4) a_service process dies very quickly so it's PID becomes available. It is possible that while original process was running, PID counter overflowed and pwait got assigned a_service's PID. This patch ignores pid(s) to wait that are equal to pwait PID.
