Bug ID: 1051
Summary: l2fwd-event: signal unsafe usage
Product: DPDK
Version: 21.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: examples
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: step...@networkplumber.org
Target Milestone: ---
The signal_handler in l2fwd-event uses several functions that are not
async-signal-safe.
The call to rte_mempool_lookup() in signal_handler could deadlock if
interrupted during another lookup.
Also updating variable in signal handler should use __atomic_store
This is not a bug found by inspection. In practice the code is safe.
But examples are used by users to build applications, should be following best
practices.
