This reverts commit e142cc87ac4ec618f2ccf5f68aedcd6e28a59d9d. fork_event_consumer may be called by other tests that do not initialize the pthread_barrier, so this approach is not correct. The subsequent patch will revert to using atomic_bool instead. Fixes: e142cc87ac4e ("fix deadlock for fork after pthread_create on ARM") CC: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Edward Liaw <edliaw@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests.c | 7 ------- 1 file changed, 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests.c b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests.c index c8a3b1c7edff..3db2296ac631 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests.c @@ -241,9 +241,6 @@ static void *fork_event_consumer(void *data) fork_event_args *args = data; struct uffd_msg msg = { 0 }; - /* Ready for parent thread to fork */ - pthread_barrier_wait(&ready_for_fork); - /* Read until a full msg received */ while (uffd_read_msg(args->parent_uffd, &msg)); @@ -311,12 +308,8 @@ static int pagemap_test_fork(int uffd, bool with_event, bool test_pin) /* Prepare a thread to resolve EVENT_FORK */ if (with_event) { - pthread_barrier_init(&ready_for_fork, NULL, 2); if (pthread_create(&thread, NULL, fork_event_consumer, &args)) err("pthread_create()"); - /* Wait for child thread to start before forking */ - pthread_barrier_wait(&ready_for_fork); - pthread_barrier_destroy(&ready_for_fork); } child = fork(); -- 2.47.0.105.g07ac214952-goog
