* Use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK if poll() is interrupted by a signalChris Wright2007-10-171-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle. This is caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating a pending signal for what in effect is an ignored signal. In general poll is a little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother userspace and simply restart the syscall. Both select and ppoll do use ERESTARTNOHAND to restart the syscall. Oleg points out that simply using ERESTARTNOHAND will cause poll to restart with original timeout value. which could ultimately lead to process never returning to userspace. Instead use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout value. Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_poll() checks signal_pending() but returns 0 when interrupted. This means the caller has to check signal_pending() again.

* do_sys_poll: simplify playing with on-stack dataOleg Nesterov2007-10-171-56/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup. Lessens both the source and compiled code (100 bytes) and imho makes the code much more understandable. With this patch "struct poll_list *head" always points to on-stack stack_pps, so we can remove all "is it on-stack" and "was it initialized" checks. Also, move poll_initwait/poll_freewait and -EINTR detection closer to the do_poll()'s callsite.

* Fix select on /proc files without ->pollAlexey Dobriyan2007-09-111-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Taneli Vähäkangas <vahakang@cs.helsinki.fi> reported that commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba aka "Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries" broke SBCL + SLIME combo. The old code in do_select() used DEFAULT_POLLMASK, if couldn't find ->poll handler. The new code makes ->poll always there and returns 0 by default, which is not correct. Return DEFAULT_POLLMASK instead. Steps to reproduce: install emacs, SBCL, SLIME emacs M-x slime in *inferior-lisp* buffer [watch it doing "Connecting to Swank on port X.."] Please, apply before 2.6.23. P.S.: why SBCL can't just read(2) /proc/cpuinfo is a mystery.

* [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in sizeVadim Lobanov2006-12-101-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset). In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all. Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting code becomes simpler.

* [PATCH] enforce RLIMIT_NOFILE in poll()Chris Snook2006-09-291-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors, even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa 2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has been changed at run time with ulimit -n. To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases: 1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024 In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024 fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <= 1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the initial value of max_fdset. 2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened. The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024, and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds. 3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and a DoS risk on low-resource systems. With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more, no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or 1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle 1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they worked fine under 2.4.18.

* [PATCH] Poll cleanups/microoptimizationsVadim Lobanov2006-06-231-32/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "count" and "pt" variables are declared and modified by do_poll(), as well as accessed and written indirectly in the do_pollfd() subroutine. This patch pulls all handling of these variables into the do_poll() function, thereby eliminating the odd use of indirection in do_pollfd(). This is done by pulling the "struct pollfd" traversal loop from do_pollfd() into its only caller do_poll(). As an added bonus, the patch saves a few clock cycles, and also adds comments to make the code easier to follow.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[] would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code.

* [PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stackAndi Kleen2006-03-281-42/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500) It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10 daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory. I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation. The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at 832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack. These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early - especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok. [TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll] I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar. Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.

* [PATCH] select: fix returned timevalAndrew Morton2006-02-111-9/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's `timeout' argument on return. We were writing back a timeout larger than the original. We _deliberately_ round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks us to. The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which was passed in. The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new timeout value to the old one and was returning that. It should just return the new timeout value. (We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in time.h. But this code open-codes it all). Cc: "David S.

* [PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementationDavid Woodhouse2006-01-181-57/+291
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).
