[PATCHv3 5/7] nvme: add sigaction for SIGWINCH

Tue May 12 13:15:50 PDT 2026


Add a sigaction handler for SIGWINCH so that nvme-top can detect
terminal window size changes.

This allows the dashboard layout to be adjusted and redrawn when the
terminal is resized. To avoid undefined behavior and async-signal-safety
the data type for nvme_sigwinch_received is defined as volatile
sig_atomic_t.

While we are at it, also update the data type of nvme_sigint_received
to volatile sig_atomic_t.
