[openib-general] RE: [PATCH] Opensm - osm_reg_sig_handler in Windows

[Yael Kalka]

Michael,

The signal handling for catching ^C (SIGINT) was deleted before.
There are other signalling caught by OpenSM, for example SIGHUP, that enables
triggering the OpenSM to do another heavy sweep. We do not want to remove this.

As was pointed out several times, we dont really need a signal
handler in linux, either, since driver detects the application exiting
automatically.

Can we kill it completely please?

Work around for broken drivers that cant detect application exiting
belongs in the vendor layer, not in opensm proper.
