Doing # extraneous wakeups will only cause potential thundering herd problems. # # However, it turns out that some Android libraries have misused the EPOLL # interface, and expected "edge triggered" be to "any new write will # trigger it". Even if there was no edge in sight. # # Quoting Sandeep Patil: # "The commit 1b6b26ae7053 ('pipe: fix and clarify pipe write wakeup # logic') changed pipe write logic to wakeup readers only if the pipe # was empty at the time of write. However, there are libraries that # relied upon the older behavior for notification scheme similar to # what's described in [1] # # One such library 'realm-core'[2] is used by numerous Android # applications. The library uses a similar notification mechanism as GNU # Make but it never drains the pipe until it is full. When Android moved # to v5.10 kernel, all applications using this library stopped working. # # The library has since been fixed[3] but it will be a while before all # applications incorporate the updated library" # # Our regression rule for the kernel is that if applications break from # new behavior, it's a regression, even if it was because the application # did something patently wrong. Also note the original report [4] by # Michal Kerrisk about a test for this epoll behavior - but at that point # we didn't know of any actual broken use case. # # So add the extraneous wakeup, to approximate the old behavior. # # [ I say "approximate", because the exact old behavior was to do a wakeup # not for each write(), but for each pipe buffer chunk that was filled # in. The behavior introduced by this change is not that - this is just # "every write will cause a wakeup, whether necessary or not", which # seems to be sufficient for the broken library use. ] # # It's worth noting that this adds the extraneous wakeup only for the # write side, while the read side still considers the "edge" to be purely # about reading enough from the pipe to allow further writes. # # See commit f467a6a66419 ("pipe: fix and clarify pipe read wakeup logic") # for the pipe read case, which remains that "only wake up if the pipe was # full, and we read something from it". # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjeG0q1vgzu4iJhW5juPkTsjTYmiqiMUYAebWW+0bam6w@mail.gmail.com/ [1] # Link: https://github.com/realm/realm-core [2] # Link: https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/4666 [3] # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKgNAkjMBGeAwF=2MKK758BhxvW58wYTgYKB2V-gY1PwXxrH+Q@mail.gmail.com/ [4] # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210729222635.2937453-1-sspatil@android.com/ # Reported-by: Sandeep Patil <sspatil@android.com> # Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 3a34b13a88caeb2800ab44a4918f230041b37dd9 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_mpc85xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- mpc85xx_defconfig # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_mpc85xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_mpc85xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_mpc85xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- /kisskb/src/net/sched/sch_frag.c: In function 'sch_fragment': /kisskb/src/net/sched/sch_frag.c:93:10: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces] struct rtable sch_frag_rt = { 0 }; ^ /kisskb/src/net/sched/sch_frag.c:93:10: warning: (near initialization for 'sch_frag_rt.dst') [-Wmissing-braces] In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:11:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:9, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/module.h:12, from /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fs_enet/mac-scc.c:15: /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fs_enet/mac-scc.c: In function 'allocate_bd': /kisskb/src/include/linux/err.h:22:49: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) unlikely((unsigned long)(void *)(x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO) ^ /kisskb/src/include/linux/compiler.h:78:42: note: in definition of macro 'unlikely' # define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0) ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fs_enet/mac-scc.c:139:6: note: in expansion of macro 'IS_ERR_VALUE' if (IS_ERR_VALUE(fep->ring_mem_addr)) ^ /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8541cds.dts:330.3-21: Warning (pci_device_bus_num): /pci@e0008000/i8259@19000:bus-range: PCI bus number 1 out of range, expected (0 - 0) /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8555cds.dts:330.3-21: Warning (pci_device_bus_num): /pci@e0008000/i8259@19000:bus-range: PCI bus number 1 out of range, expected (0 - 0) Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mpc85xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:02:09.017649
