问题描述

我可以通过父进程杀死一个子进程。但是如果一个父进程有多个子进程怎么办?

例如在下面的代码中,有 1 个父进程和 6 个子进程。如何在父进程终止后立即杀死其他六个子进程?

如果您运行此代码,则父进程将在 5 秒后终止。在该子进程再过 5 秒(总共 10 秒)后终止。

但是我想在父进程终止后立即杀死 6 个子进程。所以父进程和 6 个子进程应该在 5 秒后终止。

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() 
{ 
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++) // loop will run 6 times(there are 6 child processes.) 
    { 
        if(fork() == 0) 
        { 
            printf("Started [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid()); 

            sleep(10); //child waits 10 seconds,then it exitted.

            printf("Exitted [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid()); 

            exit(0); 
        } 
    } 

    //parent
    sleep(5);  //parent will wait 5 seconds than it will exit
    printf("Parent terminated\n");
    exit(0); //parent terminated.(how can I exit the the other 6 child processes too?)

}

解决方案


在 Linux 上,您可以prctl通过信号(已跳过错误检查)请求通知您父母的死亡。

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#include <sys/prctl.h> //<<<<<<<<
#include <signal.h> //<<<<<<<<

int main() 
{ 
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++) // loop will run 6 times(there are 6 child processes.) 
    { 
        if(fork() == 0) 
        { 
            prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGTERM); //<<<<<<

            printf("Started [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid()); 

            sleep(2);

            printf("Exitted [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid()); 

            exit(0); 
        } 
    } 

    //parent
    sleep(1);
    printf("Parent terminated\n");
    exit(0);
   //<<< Linux auto-sends the deathsignal to all children

} 

对于不要求父进程在死亡时显式杀死其子进程的 POSIX 兼容解决方案,您可以使用 async-IO 管道。

Async-IO 依赖于在文件描述符事件上发送的信号。在这种情况下,只要您确保自动关闭关闭对管道端文件的最后引用(跳过错误检查),您就可以收到由内核自动关闭垂死进程的文件描述符引起的关闭事件的通知:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#include <signal.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

int main()
{

    int pipes[6][2];
    for(int i=0;i<6;i++) // loop will run 6 times(there are 6 child processes.)
    {
        pipe(pipes[i]); //create a pipe

        if(fork() == 0)
        {
            //get notified on an event on the read-end (we're aiming for the EOF event)
            fcntl(pipes[i][0],F_SETOWN,getpid()); 
            ioctl(pipes[i][0], FIOASYNC, &(int){1});

            for(int j=0; j<=i; j++) close(pipes[j][1]); //close all write-end ends so the refcount is 1 and the parent has the last ref

            printf("Started [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid());

            sleep(2);

            printf("Exitted [son] pid %d from [parent] pid %d\n",getpid(),getppid());

            exit(0);
        }
    }

    //parent
    sleep(1);
    printf("Parent terminated\n");
    exit(0); 
    //<<<this closes all the last write ends of the pipes and so the children will get notified with a signal 
    //the signal is SIGIO by default, whose default disposition is to kill the process (this can be changed by fcntl(fd,F_SETSIG,TheSignal))
