This is inconsistent since splice()-ing # from/to non-pipe file descriptors does take O_NONBLOCK into # consideration. # # Fix this by promoting O_NONBLOCK, when set on a pipe, to # SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK. # # Some context for how the current implementation of splice() leads to # inconsistent behavior. In the ongoing work[1] to add VM tracing # capability to trace-cmd we stream tracing data over named FIFOs or # vsockets from guests back to the host. # # When we receive SIGINT from user to stop tracing, we set O_NONBLOCK on # the input file descriptor and set SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK for the next call to # splice(). If splice() was blocked waiting on data from the input FIFO, # after SIGINT splice() restarts with the same arguments (no # SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) and blocks again instead of returning -EAGAIN when no # data is available. # # This differs from the splice() behavior when reading from a vsocket or # when we're doing a traditional read()/write() loop (trace-cmd's # --nosplice argument). # # With this patch applied we get the same behavior in all situations after # setting O_NONBLOCK which also matches the behavior of doing a # read()/write() loop instead of splice(). # # This change does have potential of breaking users who don't expect # EAGAIN from splice() when SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is not set. OTOH programs # that set O_NONBLOCK and don't anticipate EAGAIN are arguably buggy[2]. # # [1] https://github.com/skaslev/trace-cmd/tree/vsock # [2] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d47e3da1759230e394096fd742aad423c291ba48/fs/read_write.c#L1425 # # Signed-off-by: Slavomir Kaslev # Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 ee5e001196d1345b8fee25925ff5f1d67936081e # < make -s -j 10 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc5.4 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux- allmodconfig # make -s -j 10 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc5.4 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux- arch/arm64/Makefile:27: ld does not support --fix-cortex-a53-843419; kernel may be susceptible to erratum arch/arm64/Makefile:40: LSE atomics not supported by binutils In file included from /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/bug.h:18:0, from /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/include/asm/bug.h:37, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/bug.h:5, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mmdebug.h:5, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/mm.h:9, from /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c:14: /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c: In function 'imxdma_sg_next': /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:846:29: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1))) ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:860:4: note: in expansion of macro '__typecheck' (__typecheck(x, y) && __no_side_effects(x, y)) ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:870:24: note: in expansion of macro '__safe_cmp' __builtin_choose_expr(__safe_cmp(x, y), \ ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:879:19: note: in expansion of macro '__careful_cmp' #define min(x, y) __careful_cmp(x, y, <) ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/dma/imx-dma.c:288:8: note: in expansion of macro 'min' now = min(d->len, sg_dma_len(sg)); ^ In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/rwsem.h:16:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/notifier.h:15, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/clk.h:17, from /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c:24: /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c: In function 'sci_submit_rx': /kisskb/src/include/linux/spinlock.h:279:3: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(lock, flags); \ ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c:1338:16: note: 'flags' was declared here unsigned long flags; ^ Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64-gcc5.4 # Build took: 0:20:24.667532
