"That wakeup" is another wakeup pipe_read() does before return: if (wake_writer) wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wr_wait, ...); And wake_writer must be true if this reader changed the pipe_full() condition from T to F. Note also that pipe_read() won't sleep if it has read even one byte. > > [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250304123457.GA25281@xxxxxxxxxx/ > > [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250210114039.GA3588@xxxxxxxxxx/ > > Why do you think > > [PATCH v2 1/1] pipe: change pipe_write() to never add a zero-sized buffer > https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250210114039.GA3588@xxxxxxxxxx/ > > can make any difference ??? > > Where do you think a zero-sized buffer with ->len == 0 can come from?
