Linux : Child process wait for parent process termination

help
1

OS : Ubuntu

Child process:

#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
fn watch_parent_process(_ : i32){
    use libc::{prctl, PR_SET_PDEATHSIG};
    use nix::sys::signal::{sigaction, SaFlags, SigAction, SigHandler, SigSet, SIGUSR1};

    unsafe {
        prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGUSR1);
    }


    let sig_action = SigAction::new(
        SigHandler::Handler(handle_sigusr1),
        SaFlags::empty(),
        SigSet::empty(),
    );

    if let Err(err) = unsafe { sigaction(SIGUSR1, &sig_action) } {
        error!("sigaction(SIGUSR1): {}", err);
        process::exit(2);
    };
    
}

#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
extern "C" fn handle_sigusr1(_: libc::c_int) {
    info!("Parent process exited");
    process::exit(1);
}

Parent process

unsafe {
        prctl(PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER, 1, 0, 0, 0);
}
let mut cmd = Command::new("/home/Dev/x-x-x/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/x-x-x");

match cmd.spawn() {
    Ok(child) => println!("process id is {}", child.id()),
    Err(e) => {
        println!("process didn't start: {}", e);
    },
}

When parent process exits, child process does not receive the signal.

Appreciated for any help.
