[PATCH v2 13/13] examples/eventdev_pipeline: make signal handler safe
Stephen Hemminger

Mon Sep 7 19:03:31 CEST 2026
This example was calling functions like rte_exit and printing from a
signal handler which is not async signal safe.
Revise to spit the two signal actions here:
- The handler for SIGINT and SIGTERM set a flag which causes main
loop to exit and proceed with normal clean shutdown. If a second
SIGINT is received the process will get default signal handler
(i.e process exit).
- The dump flag handler is changed form SIGTSTP (^Z) to use SIGUSR1
since that is more standard practice in Linux.
