BUG/MEDIUM: threads/unix: Fix a deadlock when a listener is temporarily disabled
When a listener is temporarily disabled, we start by locking it and then we call
.pause callback of the underlying protocol (tcp/unix). For TCP listeners, this
is not a problem. But listeners bound on an unix socket are in fact closed
instead. So .pause callback relies on unbind_listener function to do its job.
Unfortunatly, unbind_listener hold the listener's lock and then call an internal
function to unbind it. So, there is a deadlock here. This happens during a
reload. To fix the problemn, the function do_unbind_listener, which is lockless,
is now exported and is called when a listener bound on an unix socket is
temporarily disabled.
This patch must be backported in 1.8.
