Bug #1102

TouchProcessor fails on pinet to exit or notify on exit when running on pistore.
100%
Description
Failure on pinet shutdown on a pistore:
piboxTouchShutdownProcessor[touchProcessor.c:619] ERROR Timed out waiting on touchProcessor thread to shut down.
Doesn't happen all the time and the timeout eventually clears the problem.

This might be due to the animation timer interfering with the SIGINT processing. There was no call to g_source_remove() in pinet.c on shutdown.
This is fixed in my sandbox but needs to be tested thoroughly on hardware.
Note that the following all need updates related to the SIGINT call.- picam
- musicfe
- pipics
This means they all need this code on shutdown.
if ( isCLIFlagSet(CLI_TOUCH) )
{
/* SIGINT is required to exit the touch processor thread. */
raise(SIGINT);
piboxTouchShutdownProcessor();
}
- pistore
- pinet

All changes are implemented but all changes need to be tested on hardware.
Kiosk can be used to test the following:- pipics: passed
- picam - passed, after fixing location of touch handler shutdown.
- pinet - fail
- Musicfe: Passed
- pistore: passed

pinet is still failing with this even though the code looks correct. It still times out waiting on the touch processor.
I'm not sure I really like this mechanism as it relies on a signal in stead of a more robust mechanism like a thread variable or semaphore.
In any case, all of the code can be committed and pushed. Then I just need to fix pinet from here.

Possible issue: picam doesn't have ANY signal handling. Just add the same thing I put in pinet and see if that helps.
Update: looks like ONLY pinet has signal handling. pistore doesn't have it. musicfe doesn't have it. pipics doesn't have it. In fact mfe and pipics have it but it's been disabled (#if 0'd). Still, I want to try adding it to see what happens.
The problem here is that ts_read() in piboxlib:touchProcessor() is blocking and will only interrupt on SIGINT. We can make it non-blocking with a call to ts_setup but I don't know if the code is setup to handle non-blocking reads. I'll have to experiment. If we can use non-blocking calls then we can use a semaphore to shutdown the touchprocessor, which will be much cleaner than SIGINT.

touchProcessor() calls ts_setup(xxx,0) which means blocking reads. If it would call it with ts_setup(xxx,1) then it would be non-blocking. touchProcessor() calls ts_read(xxx,1) meaning it just wants one entry so the code right after that, if (ret==0), handles a non-blocking return.
So technically, all that should be required is to have touchProcessor() call ts_setup(xxx,1) and it should just work. I MIGHT need to put a minor delay in the if(ret==0) block to keep touchProcessor() from hogging CPU time, however.
If I do this then the shutdownProcessor() call can just use a semaphore to break out of the touchProcessor() loop.
To test: make the mods to libpibox and push the .opk to the node to test. It either works or it doesn't.

Wow. Fixed this!
The fix wasn't to use a semaphore. There was already loop management integrated into touchProcessor(), I just wasn't using it correctly. When fixed and switched to non-blocking reads, the whole thing just works a ton better.
Tested with picam, pinet, and pistore. All of which now exit much faster and cleanly.
Code (piboxlib:touchProcessor.c was the only change) committed and pushed.
Closing issue.
