[PATCH] Fix nscd -i


Hi!

nscd -i group
(etc.) doesn't currently wait till the cache is invalidated, so if whomever
spawned nscd -i group shortly after that uses getgrnam etc. on the group
added (resp. removed) shortly before the invalidation, the old response
might still be in the cache.
The following patch changes nscd -i to wait for response (it will actually
work even when new nscd is executed against older (before this patch) nscd
already running on the system - in that case the old nscd will invoke
prune_cache and when done with it, will close the socket, which means
the read of the response will return 0 and be silently ignored).

2006-05-30  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* nscd/nscd.h (prune_cache): Add fd argument to prototype.
	* nscd/nscd.c (parse_opt): Read response from INVALIDATE request
	to make sure the database has been already invalidated.
	* nscd/cache.c (prune_cache): Add fd argument.  Write response to fd
	after the cache has been invalidated.  Use pthread_mutex_lock rather
	than pthread_mutex_trylock if fd != -1.
	* nscd/connections.c (invalidate_cache): Add fd argument, write
	response to fd if not calling prune_cache, pass fd to prune_cache.
	(handle_request): Adjust invalidate_cache caller.
	(nscd_run): Pass -1 as fd to prune_cache.
