unref buffer if no clients connected (1.15 KB, patch)
2013-06-19 19:54 UTC, Aleix Conchillo Flaqué 		none Details | Review

Description Aleix Conchillo Flaqué 2013-06-19 19:51:08 UTC 
With the latest changes (custom allocator) shared memory space will be filled even no clients are connected. shmsink will then block until it can allocate a new block in the shared memory area. But this will not happen as no one has received the commands of new buffers.

    shmsink: unref buffer if no clients are connected
    
    If no client has received the command, unref the buffer. This will
    make sure that the shared memory area does not get filled with buffers
    no one knows about.
