User # space should then do as much as possible - fully emptying the buffer or # what not - and we'll notify it again the next time the state changes. # # But as with EPOLLET, we have at least one case (stress-ng) where the # kernel sent SIGIO due to the pipe being marked for asynchronous # notification, but the user space signal handler then didn't actually # necessarily read it all before returning (it read more than what was # written, but since there could be multiple writes, it could leave data # pending). # # The user space code then expected to get another SIGIO for subsequent # writes - even though the pipe had been readable the whole time - and # would only then read more. # # This is arguably a user space bug - and Colin King already fixed the # stress-ng code in question - but the kernel regression rules are clear: # it doesn't matter if kernel people think that user space did something # silly and wrong. What matters is that it used to work. # # So if user space depends on specific historical kernel behavior, it's a # regression when that behavior changes. It's on us: we were silly to # have that non-optimal historical behavior, and our old kernel behavior # was what user space was tested against. # # Because of how the FASYNC notification was tied to wakeup behavior, this # was first broken by commits f467a6a66419 and 1b6b26ae7053 ("pipe: fix # and clarify pipe read/write wakeup logic"), but at the time it seems # nobody noticed. Probably because the stress-ng problem case ends up # being timing-dependent too. # # It was then unwittingly fixed by commit 3a34b13a88ca ("pipe: make pipe # writes always wake up readers") only to be broken again when by commit # 3b844826b6c6 ("pipe: avoid unnecessary EPOLLET wakeups under normal # loads"). # # And at that point the kernel test robot noticed the performance # refression in the stress-ng.sigio.ops_per_sec case. So the "Fixes" tag # below is somewhat ad hoc, but it matches when the issue was noticed. # # Fix it for good (knock wood) by simply making the kill_fasync() case # separate from the wakeup case. FASYNC is quite rare, and we clearly # shouldn't even try to use the "avoid unnecessary wakeups" logic for it. # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210824151337.GC27667@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/ # Fixes: 3b844826b6c6 ("pipe: avoid unnecessary EPOLLET wakeups under normal loads") # Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> # Tested-by: Oliver Sang <oliver.sang@intel.com> # Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> # Cc: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 fe67f4dd8daa252eb9aa7acb61555f3cc3c1ce4c # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=x86 O=/kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux- allmodconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_SAMPLES=n # < make -s -j 120 ARCH=x86 O=/kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux- help # make -s -j 120 ARCH=x86 O=/kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 120 ARCH=x86 O=/kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux- /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-objdump: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-objdump: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-objdump: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: File format not recognized /kisskb/src/kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c: In function 'start_kthread': /kisskb/src/kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1515:8: warning: 'main' is usually a function [-Wmain] void main = osnoise_main; ^~~~ /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c: In function 'numbers_list_field_width_val_width': /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c:530:1: warning: the frame size of 2472 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] } ^ /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c: In function 'numbers_list_field_width_typemax': /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c:488:1: warning: the frame size of 2952 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] } ^ /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c: In function 'numbers_list': /kisskb/src/lib/test_scanf.c:437:1: warning: the frame size of 2472 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] } ^ /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-ld: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-ld: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-ld: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux-ld: mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_info mm/kfence/kfence_test.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized make[3]: [/kisskb/src/scripts/Makefile.modfinal:76: mm/kfence/kfence_test.ko] Error 1 make[3]: * Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: * [/kisskb/src/scripts/Makefile.modpost:156: __modpost] Error 2 make[1]: * [/kisskb/src/Makefile:1766: modules] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:220: __sub-make] Error 2 Command 'make -s -j 120 ARCH=x86 O=/kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/x86_64-linux/bin/x86_64-linux- ' returned non-zero exit status 2 # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_x86-allmodconfig_x86_64-gcc8 # Build took: 0:16:01.183757
