Subject: [PATCH] gdb.base/info-os.c: clean up SysV IPC on error
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:16:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422637464-20419-1-git-send-email-donb@codesourcery.com> (raw)

We have noticed here that over time some of our test systems accumulate
stale System V IPC resources.  At least some of this is due to a GDB test
program, gdb.base/info-os.c.  The program doesn't clean up any allocated
IPC objects when an error occurs.  System V IPC objects will stay around
forever unless they are explicitly removed (or until a reboot).

This patch puts the IPC cleanup code into a function and calls the
function everywhere that a fatal error can occur, as well as at 
successful termination.

I looked at changing the SysV IPC key for allocating the IPC objects
to IPC_PRIVATE.  That would prevent a namespace conflict with the key.
However, the test needs to read the actual key number from the 'info os'
command output, and IPC_PRIVATE won't work for that.

One can clean up stale resources allocated by this test on Linux systems
by running 'ipcs' and looking for shared memory objects with keys in
the range 0xf55-0x133d, semaphore objects with keys in the range
0x1d04-20ec, and message queue objects in the range 0x14ae-0x1896.  Use
the 'ipcrm' command to delete the IPC objects.  Note that other programs
(like vncserver) use these objects, so make sure that the object is stale
before deleting it.

Tested on x86_64 Ubuntu.

OK?

thanks

	* gdb.base/info-os.c (shmid, semid, msqid): Make variables static
	and initialize them.
	(ipc_cleanup): New function.
	(main): Don't declare shmid, semid, and msqid.  Call ipc_cleanup
	on error, or on exit in place of making 'remove' calls directly.
