Description Kyrylo Shpytsya 2019-10-12 20:19:25 UTC

It appears that this fix for bug 675870 has introduced a regression in form of inability to suspend an ongoing ebuild process.
I usually launch "sudo nice emerge @world" in some terminal and go on using machine as usual. When some heavy build coincides with some (mostly memory) heavy tasks I need to run, I just switch to the terminal running "emerge @world" and hit Ctrl+Z. This is no longer effective.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start some ebuild
2. Press Ctrl+Z during the compile phase

Actual Results:  
The build output to terminal stops, and shell reports job as suspended, however, in task monitor (e.g. htop) one can see that the child processes of pid-ns-init keep running in background.

Expected Results:  
Being able to suspend (and then resume) entire ebuild process tree.

I'm not sure when, but this has been fixed. It was somewhere prior to 3.0.20
