    core: add and use NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS as duration that we plan for shutdown · eaf36db6
    Thomas Haller authored
    nm_ppp_manager_stop() wants to ensure that the pppd process is really
    gone. For that it uses nm_utils_kill_child_async() to first send
    SIGTERM, and sending SIGKILL after a timeout.
    
    Later, we want to fix shutdown of NetworkManager to iterate the mainloop
    during shutdown, so that such operations are still handled. However, we
    can only delay shutdown for a certain time. After a timeout (NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS
    plus NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS_GRACE) we really have to give up and
    terminate.
    
    That means, the right amount of time between sending SIGTERM and SIGKILL
    is exactly NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS. Hopefully that is of course
    sufficient in the first place. If not, send SIGKILL afterwards, and give
    a bit more time (NM_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS_GRACE) to reap the child.
    And if all this time is still not enough, something is really odd and we
    abort waiting, with a warning in the logfile.
    
    Since we don't properly handle shutdown yet, the description above is
    not really true. But with this patch, we fix it from point of view of
    NMPPPManager.
