gentoo-overlay/sys-apps/netplug/files/netplug-1.2.9.2-multi-waitpid-sigchld.patch

# Rework SIGCHLD handler to anticipate multiple children dying while the
# handler is being executed.
#
# Without the patch if multiple SIGCHLD signals are received while the signal
# handler is being executed, the first will be left in pending state and the
# extra discarded. Due to the children processing logic in netplugd, the ones
# which were missed will never be waited, left as zombies.
#
# Implementation of the signal handler is following suggested handling in
# https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Merged-Signals.html
#
# The patch strives to change only the children wait logic in the signal
# handler, it doesn't try to enhance write call error handling or the unsafe
# call to exit/do_log. Also the formatting is left as it was in the original
# code.
