[Bugreport] v4l-utils/libv4lconvert/ov511-decomp does not shutdown on SIGTERM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Guys,

I use motion for my old web camera (v4l1) with
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so

v4l2convert.so run decompress helper ov511-decomp.

Processes look like:
/usr/bin/motion
\_ /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4lconvert0/ov511-decomp

(motion - http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome)
Everything works fine, but when I stop motion daemon I have to wait for a minute.

strace prints that ov511-decomp got SIGTERM, wait for the minute and then got SIGKILL.

When I do "killall -TERM ov511-decomp" ov511-decomp ignores it and continue to decomress.
"killall -INT ov511-decomp" ov511-decomp shut down as expected.

As a workaround I made this patch to lib/libv4lconvert/helper.c
