So, when a trace write operation fails (mmap or splice), the associated thread in the consumer dies making the consumer virtually useless for more tracing.

Furthermore, I just discovered with the lttng-tools HEAD (dda67f6c1ffa2bd1bb106b21d1ee353a4c1245f8), when killing the relayd the lttng_data_available call (used by default by "lttng stop") blocks for a long time... and my guess it's because it's trying to communicate on a socket shutdown on one side.

This is pretty high severity and MUST be fixed before 2.1-stable

Thanks!
