一、现象描述
在利用librdkafka同kafka broker通信过程中,当kafka broker意外退出时(如kill -9),librdkafka接口的sendmsg接口报出了“Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.” 这个错误具有典型性,根据网络搜索的结果,这个一般是由于向一个被破坏的socket连接或者pipe读写数据造成的,向有经验的同事请教,他们说这种场景不会出现SIGPIPE信号,而是直接send, write, sendmsg等返回-1,同时errno会被设置成EPIPE。
实践是检验真理的唯一标准,找个例子一试便知。
二、例子程序
为了快速检验,从网上上借了一个简单的客户端、服务器程序,http://hi.baidu.com/dlpucat/item/97ab75c5243b8761f6c95d75,多谢原作者。
服务器端程序 server.c

客户端程序

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define HELLO_WORLD_SERVER_PORT 6666
#define BUFFER_SIZE 1024
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./%s ServerIPAddress\n",argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
struct sockaddr_in client_addr;
bzero(&client_addr,sizeof(client_addr));
client_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
client_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htons(INADDR_ANY);
client_addr.sin_port = htons(0);
int client_socket = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
if( client_socket < 0)
{

exit(1);
}
if( bind(client_socket,(struct sockaddr*)&client_addr,sizeof(client_addr)))
{

exit(1);
}
char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
bzero(buffer,BUFFER_SIZE);
int length = recv(client_socket,buffer,BUFFER_SIZE,0);
if(length < 0)
{
printf("Recieve Data From Server %s Failed!\n", argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
printf("From Server %s :\t%s",argv[1],buffer);
bzero(buffer,BUFFER_SIZE);
strcpy(buffer,"Hello, World! From Client\n");
while(1){
sleep(1);
int ret = send(client_socket,buffer,BUFFER_SIZE,0);
if (ret == -1 && errno == EPIPE){
printf("receive sigpipe\n");
}
}
close(client_socket);
return 0;
}
三、重现方法
step 1)编译: gcc -o server server.c
gcc -o -g client client.c (通过gdb直接看到异常退出)
step 2)启动服务器端:./server
step 3) 启动客户端:(这里假设客户端和服务器部署在同一台服务器) gdb ./client
(gdb) r 127.0.0.1
step 4) 观察正常运行结果:首先是客户端收到服务器端的消息:From Server 127.0.0.1 : Hello,World from server!
然后是服务器端每隔1s收到客户端的消息: Hello, World! From Client
step 5)通过ctrl+c关闭服务器端
step 6)观察客户端结果
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0x0000003a7fcd55f5 in send () from /lib64/libc.so.6
重现了!!
四、解决办法
解决办法很多,也很简单。
4.1 client中忽略SIGPIPE信号
点击(此处)折叠或打开
- signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
4.2 阻止SIGPIPE信号(后来追查,原来同事的程序框架中已经有了这种机制,所以没有经历过程序退出的问题)
点击(此处)折叠或打开
- sigset_t set;
- sigemptyset(&set);
- sigaddset(&set, SIGPIPE);
- sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL);
4.3 为SIGPIPE添加信号处理函数,处理完程序继续执行
点击(此处)折叠或打开
- signal(SIGPIPE, pipesig_handler);
多种选择,总有一款适合您。
