Segregation failure emits FAILED, shuts down the engine, and returns ChangesEngine notification handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Startup now waits for backlog restoration to finish, removing the reported race. A low-risk edge case remains if the startup notification channel is interrupted, which could leave a library caller waiting without a final startup status; owner awareness or follow-up is recommended.

flb_engine_failed() so its return status is checked; if notification fails,
invoke the existing fallback that wakes or terminates do_start() before
returning, while preserving the current -2 return for the original
backlog-segregation error.

In library mode, flb_lib_worker() calls flb_engine_shutdown(config) only when flb_engine_start() returns -1 (in src/flb_lib.c, Lines 917-933). This branch sends FLB_ENGINE_FAILED, then returns -2, so it skips engine shutdown after partial initialization. Plugin and storage cleanup can be missed. Call flb_engine_shutdown(config) before returning, or update the caller to handle -2 without sending a second failure notification. Signed-off-by: Hiroshi Hatake <hiroshi@chronosphere.io>

This PR is investigated by Fable 5.
Root cause: In flb_engine.c, the engine signaled
FLB_ENGINE_STARTED— which unblocksflb_start()in the caller's thread — before runningsb_segregate_chunks(). In the test's second phase, the test thread immediately starts pollingflb_storage_chunk_count()→cio_stats_get(), which iterates everystream->chunkslist without locking. Meanwhile the engine thread was still segregating the restored backlog, and the new unroutable-chunk path (no matching route ... keeping it on disk) callscio_chunk_close(), which unlinks and frees the chunk from the very list the test thread is walking. When the timing overlapped, the test dereferenced a freed list node — hence the intermittent SegFault right after the second startup.Fix in flb_engine.c:1385: run
sb_segregate_chunks()beforeflb_engine_started(), soflb_start()doesn't return until segregation (and any chunk closing it does) is complete. I also addedflb_engine_failed(config)on the segregation-failure path — previously, with the signal moved, a failure there would have leftflb_start()blocked forever waiting for a notification that never comes. Service (non-lib) mode is unaffected sinceflb_engine_started()is a no-op without the notification channel.Verification: rebuilt and ran
flb-rt-in_storage_backlog30 times in a row — all passed (it previously segfaulted intermittently). Also ranflb-rt-core_engine,flb-rt-core_routes, andflb-rt-core_shutdown_spinto confirm the startup reordering didn't disturb engine start/stop behavior — all pass.Enter
