From: Xiaoguang Wang <xiaoguang.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d4ae271dfaae2a5f41c015f2f20d62a1deeec734 ] In io_sq_thread(), currently if we get an -EBUSY error and go to sleep, we will won't clear it again, which will result in io_sq_thread() will never have a chance to submit sqes again. Below test program test.c can reveal this bug: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct io_uring ring; int i, fd, ret; struct io_uring_sqe *sqe; struct io_uring_cqe *cqe; struct iovec *iovecs; void *buf; struct io_uring_params p; if (argc < 2) { printf("%s: file\n", argv[0]); return 1; } memset(&p, 0, sizeof(p)); p.flags = IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL; ret = io_uring_queue_init_params(4, &ring, &p); if (ret < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "queue_init: %s\n", strerror(-ret)); return 1; } fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); return 1; } iovecs = calloc(10, sizeof(struct iovec)); for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (posix_memalign(&buf, 4096, 4096)) return 1; iovecs[i].iov_base = buf; iovecs[i].iov_len = 4096; } ret = io_uring_register_files(&ring, &fd, 1); if (ret < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s: register %d\n", __FUNCTION__, ret); return ret; } for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { sqe = io_uring_get_sqe(&ring); if (!sqe) break; io_uring_prep_readv(sqe, 0, &iovecs[i], 1, 0); sqe->flags |= IOSQE_FIXED_FILE; ret = io_uring_submit(&ring); sleep(1); printf("submit %d\n", i); } for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { io_uring_wait_cqe(&ring, &cqe); printf("receive: %d\n", i); if (cqe->res != 4096) { fprintf(stderr, "ret=%d, wanted 4096\n", cqe->res); ret = 1; } io_uring_cqe_seen(&ring, cqe); } close(fd); io_uring_queue_exit(&ring); return 0; } sudo ./test testfile above command will hang on the tenth request, to fix this bug, when io sq_thread is waken up, we reset the variable 'ret' to be zero.
