When and where have you written this?

I observe that sometimes stopping master, by sending it SIGTERM, triggers an 
endless loop there waiting for some child to terminate - 
https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/Tea1dbf8f58b01177-Mec77eb0e4f3ec3641e7e0191/the-master-janitor-goes-crazy-re-debugging-deadlocks
 . This leads to 100% CPU utilization because of that loop. It happens 
repeatedly, but I do not know how to reproduce this.

I thought https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3449 is a fix, but it 
is not. 

Does your proposal approach the problem that on SIGTERM the master process 
enters endless loop?

Subject: Services in READY state and MAX_READY_FAILS in less than 
MAX_READY_FAIL_INTERVAL
Date: 10/09/24 19:55:04

Hi!,

Sometime ago, I wrote that when we send TERM to imapd (although it would happen 
with any other I assume, pop, sieve...) procceses we wanted to exit, due to a 
user request for disconnecting his/her sessions, sometimes happened that was 
like, after that sessions disconnection (TERM to imapd processes) no enough 
processes where become spawned newly. Only sometimes when very few processes 
needed to be killed.
I have been able to reproduce it. If a user has connected (because proctitle() 
has set it in the name) and later in very few time "leaves" (logouts for 
instance) and then the process moves to READY state if you kill with TERM more 
than MAX_READY_FAILS units of that process in less than 
MAX_READY_FAIL_INTERVAL, master won't spawn new processes as it's written in 
master.c in lines near 1100 in reap_child() function.
It's suggested to launch a SIGHUP to master for activating again the service, 
but it can't be enabled again because the service seems to have removed from 
the s data structure but not stopped. Due to that non process stop, when new 
imapd attemps to load (in service_create() ) it can't be created because the 
socket is still in use.
So, for ensuring this is correct, I have written the following patch for 
master.c and that I tested on 3.0.15 :

So by what I have seen Cyrus wrapper is written (and the way it handles 
services), I think that the possible solutions could be :
 *  Send a kill(pid,SIGTERM) for ensuring the process die before forgetting 
from s structure.
 * Do something similar as I have done, which gives you a time window for 
having more failures than expected for some seconds and which later could be 
undone with for instance the same signal sending.

Reproduced and something proposed at least.

What do you think about it? :)

Cheers!
