Odd timeout behavior

[Hrvoje Zeba <zeba.hrvoje@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been looking at timeouts and found a case I can't wrap my head around.

Basically, If you submit OPs in a certain order, timeout fires before
time elapses where I wouldn't expect it to. The order is as follows:

poll(listen_socket, POLLIN) <- this never fires
nop(async)
timeout(1s, count=X)

If you set X to anything but 0xffffffff/(unsigned)-1, the timeout does
not fire (at least not immediately). This is expected apart from maybe
setting X=1 which would potentially allow the timeout to fire if nop
executes after the timeout is setup.

If you set it to 0xffffffff, it will always fire (at least on my
machine). Test program I'm using is attached.

The funny thing is that, if you remove the poll, timeout will not fire.

I'm using Linus' tree (v5.6-12604-gab6f762f0f53).

Could anybody shine a bit of light here?


Thank you,
Hrvoje
