[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/2] runqueue: wait and deal with those <defunct> sub-processes as soon as they are os.killed() when "Force stop"

[Shane Wang]

When "Force stop" is performed during the build stage, after os.kill() kills the build sub-processes, there are many <defunct> python processes in the system. In Hob, when the user initiates a new build, os.waitpid() in runqueue_process_waitpid() will be called, and the pids of those <defunct> processes will be returned as result[0], then self.build_pids[result[0]] will throw KeyError exception because now for the new build self.build_pids is empty.

This patch is to address the above issue to collect the results and handle the sub-processes as soon as they are killed.

[Yocto #2186]
