https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95191 --- Comment #1 from Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.dias@xxxxxxxxx> --- I think the fcntl documentation is also particularly misleading when it suggests that output file descriptors can be enabled to have SIGIO sent for them when only O_ASYNC and not O_NONBLOCK bits are set in the FD flags . I cannot get the attached program to work if I do not open() the fifo file - it will not do to simply fcntl(fd,F_SETFL,previous_flags|O_ASYNC) and fcntl(fd,F_SETOWN_EX,{ .type = F_OWNER_TID, .pid = gettid() }) and sigio_sa = (struct sigaction) { .sa_sigaction = sigio_handler, .sa_flags = SA_NODEFER | SA_SIGINFO }; if( sigaction(SIGIO, &sigio_sa, &sigio_prev_sa) and then expect the process / thread to receive SIGIO where si->si_fd == 1 for stdout - the process never gets a SIGIO signal. Is this a kernel bug ? if not why is this not documented ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
