Naohiro Ooiwa f84d49b218 signal: Print warning message when dropping signals ... When the system has too many timers or too many aggregate queued signals, the EAGAIN error is returned to application from kernel, including timer_create() [POSIX.1b]. It means that the app exceeded the limit of pending signals, but in general application writers do not expect this outcome and the current silent failure can cause rare app failures under very high load. This patch adds a new message when we reach the limit and if print_fatal_signals is enabled: task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal If you see this message and your system behaved unexpectedly, you can run following command to lift the limit: # ulimit -i unlimited With help from Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>.
