Description
Hi,
The NGX_CHANGEBIN_SIGNAL (SIGUSR2) currently does not preserve the externally-set environment when restarting the master process. For example, consider the LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is set in the systemd override configuration file. When NGX_CHANGEBIN_SIGNAL is set to nginx master process, it does not start the new process with the environment variable LD_PRELOAD set. Adding this variable to NGINX configuration via the env directive doesn't help, because it properly affects the dynamic linking for the child processes.
I believe that the NGX_CHANGEBIN_SIGNAL handler should preserve the environment when launching a new master process because if it is not preserved, different shared libraries could silently be loaded after a binary upgrade.
Thanks for taking a look.
Could you please elaborate a bit more on why the
envdirective does not work for you?Note that the env directive is explicitly documented to control, among others, the environment variables "inherited during a live upgrade of an executable file", that is, exactly the behaviour you observe.
