This appears to be in contradiction with POSIX-1003.1 2004. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/sigwait.html Steps to reproduce: $ wget http://purposeful.co.uk/testcase.c $ gcc -o testcase -pthread -lpthread testcase.c $./testcase The test program prints 'a' from one thread and 'b' from another. After ten of each the 'b' thread calls sigwait, and you get just 'a's. When this happens, hit Ctrl+Z. Now restart the process (with fg). The 'b' thread resumes straight away. Expected behaviour: $ gcc -o testcase -pthread -lpthread -DWORKAROUND testcase.c $./testcase Now do the same. The 'b' thread returns to its waiting state. You get as more of just 'a' until there have been 10 of them and then a mix again. -- Summary: SIGSTOP then SIGCONT on a whole process incorrectly releases a thread from sigwait(3) for another signal Product: glibc Version: 2.3.6 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: nptl AssignedTo: drepper at redhat dot com ReportedBy: tom dot viza at gmail dot com CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com GCC build triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4169 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
