The patch titled flag parameters: NONBLOCK in pipe has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is flag-parameters-nonblock-in-pipe.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: flag parameters: NONBLOCK in pipe From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch adds O_NONBLOCK support to pipe2. It is minimally more involved than the patches for eventfd et.al but still trivial. The interfaces of the create_write_pipe and create_read_pipe helper functions were changed and the one other caller as well. The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #ifndef __NR_pipe2 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_pipe2 293 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_pipe2 331 # else # error "need __NR_pipe2" # endif #endif int main (void) { int fds[2]; if (syscall (__NR_pipe2, fds, 0) == -1) { puts ("pipe2(0) failed"); return 1; } for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i) { int fl = fcntl (fds[i], F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (fl & O_NONBLOCK) { printf ("pipe2(0) set non-blocking mode for fds[%d]\n", i); return 1; } close (fds[i]); } if (syscall (__NR_pipe2, fds, O_NONBLOCK) == -1) { puts ("pipe2(O_NONBLOCK) failed"); return 1; } for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i) { int fl = fcntl (fds[i], F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0) { printf ("pipe2(O_NONBLOCK) does not set non-blocking mode for fds[%d]\n", i); return 1; } close (fds[i]); } puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/pipe.c | 14 +++++++------- include/linux/fs.h | 4 ++-- kernel/kmod.c | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/pipe.c~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-pipe fs/pipe.c --- a/fs/pipe.c~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-pipe +++ a/fs/pipe.c @@ -950,7 +950,7 @@ fail_inode: return NULL;
