           Summary: Incorrect exit code when sender over SSH is killed
                    with SIGTERM
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: famzah at famzah.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


For the tests I've compiled "rsync" from the latest GIT repository sources.
This happens only when SRC is an SSH remote location. Example:

famzah at vbox:~$ rsync famzah at 127.0.0.1:/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic-pae
/tmp/test ; echo "Exit code: $?"
rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(610)
[sender=3.1.0dev]
Exit code: 0

Here is how the process list looks like:

famzah at vbox:~$ ps xfww -o pid,user,tty,command
  PID USER     TT       COMMAND
 5076 famzah   ?        sshd: famzah at notty  
 5077 famzah   ?         \_ rsync --server --sender -e.Lsf .
/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic-pae
 ...
 2996 famzah   pts/1     \_ /bin/bash
 4960 famzah   pts/1     |   \_ rsync
famzah at 127.0.0.1:/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic-pae /tmp/test
 4961 famzah   pts/1     |       \_ ssh -l famzah 127.0.0.1 rsync --server
--sender -e.Lsf . /boot/initrd.img-3.2.
 5078 famzah   pts/1     |       \_ rsync
famzah at 127.0.0.1:/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic-pae /tmp/test

I have killed the "rsync" sender process at the _remote_ location with SIGTERM
(PID=5077 in the example above).

Rsync properly indicates that the problem occurred in [sender=3.1.0dev] and
also displays that exit code should be 20. But in the end, the rsync process
terminates with exit code 0 which is incorrect (Success).

While trying this a few times, I noticed that sometimes "rsync" terminates with
a proper exit code if the error occurs in the local "receiver" or "generator"
processes. I get "error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c" then
and the final exit code of "rsync" is 12, as expected.

I also tried all other combinations:
  * sync between local SRC and local DST
  * sync between local SRC and remote DST over SSH
  * killing any of the "rsync" processes (receiver, generator, sender, or SSH
tunnel)

The only problem I got with the incorrect final exit code is when I transfer
with remote SRC over SSH and local DST, as demonstrated. Furthermore, the
"sender" needs to be killed with SIGTERM, which seems to be propagated back to
the "receiver" process by the rsync protocol. Killing the "sender" with SIGKILL
causes immediate termination and therefore an rsync protocol error at the side
of the "receiver", which exits properly with a non-zero exit code.
