Subject: Fix: metadata push -EPIPE should be recoverable
X-Git-Tag: v2.5.5~16
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a43dff7f69c44c8086def3e78557480add18a94;p=lttng-tools.git

Fix: metadata push -EPIPE should be recoverable

This return value can be caused by application terminating concurrently
(when using per-PID buffers), so it should not make the consumer
management thread exit.
