I'm taking a look now! Ok, this is a simple race in the selftests, that I overlooked and which is more likely to hit when there's a lot of processes running on the system. Basically the child process hasn't SIGSTOPed itself yet but the parent is already calling waitid() on a O_NONBLOCK pidfd. Since it doesn't find a WSTOPPED process it returns -EAGAIN correctly. The fix for this is to move the line where we're removing the O_NONBLOCK property from the fd before the waitid() WSTOPPED call so we hang until the child becomes stopped. So I believe the fix is: diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_wait.c b/tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_wait.c index 4063d6f31fa4..be2943f072f6 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_wait.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_wait.c @@ -205,6 +205,8 @@ TEST(wait_nonblock) ret = sys_waitid(P_PIDFD, pidfd, &info, WEXITED | WNOHANG, NULL); ASSERT_EQ(ret, 0); + ASSERT_EQ(fcntl(pidfd, F_SETFL, (flags & ~O_NONBLOCK)), 0); + ASSERT_EQ(sys_waitid(P_PIDFD, pidfd, &info, WSTOPPED, NULL), 0); ASSERT_EQ(info.si_signo, SIGCHLD); ASSERT_EQ(info.si_code, CLD_STOPPED); @@ -212,8 +214,6 @@ TEST(wait_nonblock) ASSERT_EQ(sys_pidfd_send_signal(pidfd, SIGCONT, NULL, 0), 0); - ASSERT_EQ(fcntl(pidfd, F_SETFL, (flags & ~O_NONBLOCK)), 0); - ASSERT_EQ(sys_waitid(P_PIDFD, pidfd, &info, WEXITED, NULL), 0); ASSERT_EQ(info.si_signo, SIGCHLD); ASSERT_EQ(info.si_code, CLD_EXITED); Christian
