android init to restart the service (process)

 

There are calls sigchld_handler_init () set SIGCHLD signal at the main function in the init process.

For example, when the child received signal, init process will be notified, write in SIGCHLD_handler (); then read in handle_signal (); then will call ReapOneProcess (); then call reap the service object ()

void sigchld_handler_init() {
    // Create a signalling mechanism for SIGCHLD.
    int s[2];
    if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK | SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0, s) == -1) {
        PLOG(FATAL) << "socketpair failed in sigchld_handler_init";
    }

    signal_write_fd = s[0];
    signal_read_fd = s[1];

    // Write to signal_write_fd if we catch SIGCHLD.
    struct sigaction act;
    memset(&act, 0, sizeof(act));
    act.sa_handler = SIGCHLD_handler;
    act.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDSTOP;
    sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, 0);

    ReapAnyOutstandingChildren();

    register_epoll_handler(signal_read_fd, handle_signal);
}

 

In Reap () in order to media service, for example, it should be no SVC_ONESHOT flag, it will bring up Service :: KillProcessGroup (), this function will send signal SIGKILL (9) to the media process to kill it.

Then call onrestart_.ExecuteAllCommands ()

void Service::Reap(const siginfo_t& siginfo) {
    if (!(flags_ & SVC_ONESHOT) || (flags_ & SVC_RESTART)) {
        KillProcessGroup(SIGKILL);
    }

    // Remove any descriptor resources we may have created.
    std::for_each(descriptors_.begin(), descriptors_.end(),
                  std::bind(&DescriptorInfo::Clean, std::placeholders::_1));

    for (const auto& f : reap_callbacks_) {
        f(siginfo);
    }

    if (flags_ & SVC_EXEC) UnSetExec();

    if (flags_ & SVC_TEMPORARY) return;

    pid_ = 0;
    flags_ &= (~SVC_RUNNING);
    start_order_ = 0;

    // Oneshot processes go into the disabled state on exit,
    // except when manually restarted.
    if ((flags_ & SVC_ONESHOT) && !(flags_ & SVC_RESTART)) {
        flags_ |= SVC_DISABLED;
    }

    // Disabled and reset processes do not get restarted automatically.
    if (flags_ & (SVC_DISABLED | SVC_RESET))  {
        NotifyStateChange("stopped");
        return;
    }

    // If we crash > 4 times in 4 minutes, reboot into recovery.
    boot_clock::time_point now = boot_clock::now();
    if ((flags_ & SVC_CRITICAL) && !(flags_ & SVC_RESTART)) {
        if (now < time_crashed_ + 4min) {
            if (++crash_count_ > 4) {
                LOG(FATAL) << "critical process '" << name_ << "' exited 4 times in 4 minutes";
            }
        } else {
            time_crashed_ = now;
            crash_count_ = 1;
        }
    }

    flags_ &= (~SVC_RESTART);
    flags_ |= SVC_RESTARTING;

    // Execute all onrestart commands for this service.
    onrestart_.ExecuteAllCommands();

    NotifyStateChange("restarting");
    return;
}

 

This onrestart_.ExecuteAllCommands () for the media process, it did not add command (such as the following mediaserver.rc), so it will not do anything.
