Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66623&edit=1 ID: 66623 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: php at bof dot de Summary: no EINTR check on flock(LOCK_EX) Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Session related PHP Version: 5.6.0alpha1 Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for reporting.

This is especially true for flock(LOCK_EX) because in the > already-locked case the second call will go to sleep for a while waiting > for the lock to clear. But it is also possible, I think, for the > pread/read/write calls. The usual handling for the case (-1 return && > errno > == EINTR) is to just repeat the call in a while loop. I think that at > least > doing so for the LOCK_EX calls, would be prudent. Re-Read the manpage (*) a bit... read/pread/write should be safe here, going to disk, and not a pipe or socket. But flock() will return EINTR when signalled and the signal handler did not use SA_RESTART. Most PHP execution will _probably_ okay anyway as $restart_syscalls is default true for pcntl_signal(), but handling would be safer anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66623&edit=1
