Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: Periodically call sd_journal_process in
923a60
 journalctl
923a60
923a60
If `journalctl` take a long time to process messages, and during that
923a60
time journal file rotation occurs, a `journalctl` client will keep
923a60
those rotated files open until it calls `sd_journal_process()`, which
923a60
typically happens as a result of calling `sd_journal_wait()` below in
923a60
the "following" case.  By periodically calling `sd_journal_process()`
923a60
during the processing loop we shrink the window of time a client
923a60
instance has open file descriptors for rotated (deleted) journal
923a60
files.

(Lennart: slightly reworked version, that dropped some of the commenting
923a60
which was solved otherwise)

(cherry picked from commit ec316d199a13d8db3f6550d60e369893de2fb417)
