Subject: [PATCH] Do not send duplicate signals when MONITOR is set
Date: Mon,  7 Jun 2021 10:27:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210607172753.222432-1-epaulson10@gmail.com> (raw)

When job control is enabled, killjb() is sending signals to the job's group
leader via killpg(), and then falling into a loop where the job's
process list is traversed and the signal is sent to each process. This
causes signals to always be sent twice.

This patch adds a return after the killpg() call to avoid sending the
signal again.

I run emacs as a daemon and use the emacsclient program to connect to
it. I noticed that when I suspended the emacsclient program and
resumed it in zsh, the program would sporadically crash. After digging
into the code, I realized that emacsclient was receiving two SIGCONTs,
which caused it to send a malformed command to the daemon. While this
is definitely a problem with emacsclient, it doesn't feel right that
Zsh is sending two SIGCONTs.

I found that this return used to be present, but was removed in
https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2018/msg01338.html while addressing
another emacs issue. It looks to me to be an oversight, but I cannot
tell as I am not well versed in the Zsh codebase or job control. I
know that my issue goes away with this patch, and I cannot reproduce
the original issue in the linked mail thread with it either.

Note that on testing with Linux, it seems the kernel will suppress the
second signal; in order to get a test program to detect it, I have to
step through the code with the debugger. On OSX, where I originally
detected this problem, I reliably get two signals delivered each time.
