From: Heiher <r@xxxxxx> The structure of event pools: efd[2]: { sfd[0] (EPOLLIN) } efd[1]: { efd[2] (EPOLLIN) } efd[0]: { efd[2] (EPOLLIN | EPOLLET) } When sfd[0] to be readable: * the epoll_wait(efd[0], ..., 0) should return efd[2]'s events on first call, and returns 0 on next calls, because efd[2] is added in edge-triggered mode. * the epoll_wait(efd[1], ..., 0) should returns efd[2]'s events on every calls until efd[2] is not readable (epoll_wait(efd[2], ...) => 0), because efd[1] is added in level-triggered mode. * the epoll_wait(efd[2], ..., 0) should returns sfd[0]'s events on every calls until sfd[0] is not readable (read(sfd[0], ...) => EAGAIN), because sfd[0] is added in level-triggered mode. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int sfd[2]; int efd[3]; int nfds; struct epoll_event e; if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sfd) < 0) goto out; efd[0] = epoll_create(1); if (efd[0] < 0) goto out; efd[1] = epoll_create(1); if (efd[1] < 0) goto out; efd[2] = epoll_create(1); if (efd[2] < 0) goto out; e.events = EPOLLIN; if (epoll_ctl(efd[2], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, sfd[0], &e) < 0) goto out; e.events = EPOLLIN; if (epoll_ctl(efd[1], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd[2], &e) < 0) goto out; e.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLET; if (epoll_ctl(efd[0], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd[2], &e) < 0) goto out; if (write(sfd[1], "w", 1) != 1) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 1) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 0) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[1], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 1) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[1], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 1) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[2], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 1) goto out; nfds = epoll_wait(efd[2], &e, 1, 0); if (nfds != 1) goto out; close(efd[1]); close(efd[0]); close(sfd[0]); close(sfd[1]); printf("SUCC\n"); return 0; out: printf("FAIL\n"); return -1; } Signed-off-by: hev <r@xxxxxx> Cc: Eric Wong <e@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- fs/eventpoll.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/eventpoll.c b/fs/eventpoll.c index d7f1f5011fac..a44cb27c636c 100644 --- a/fs/eventpoll.c +++ b/fs/eventpoll.c @@ -672,6 +672,7 @@ static __poll_t ep_scan_ready_list(struct eventpoll *ep, { __poll_t res; int pwake = 0; + int nwake = 0; struct epitem *epi, *nepi; LIST_HEAD(txlist); @@ -685,6 +686,9 @@ static __poll_t ep_scan_ready_list(struct eventpoll *ep, if (!ep_locked) mutex_lock_nested(&ep->mtx, depth); + if (!depth || list_empty(&ep->rdllist)) + nwake = 1; + /* * Steal the ready list, and re-init the original one to the * empty list.
