The patch titled flag parameters: NONBLOCK in eventfd has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was flag-parameters-nonblock-in-eventfd.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: flag parameters: NONBLOCK in eventfd From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch adds support for the EFD_NONBLOCK flag to eventfd2. The additional changes needed are minimal. 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_eventfd2 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_eventfd2 290 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_eventfd2 328 # else # error "need __NR_eventfd2" # endif #endif #define EFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK int main (void) { int fd = syscall (__NR_eventfd2, 1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("eventfd2(0) failed"); return 1; } int fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (fl & O_NONBLOCK) { puts ("eventfd2(0) sets non-blocking mode"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_eventfd2, 1, EFD_NONBLOCK); if (fd == -1) { puts ("eventfd2(EFD_NONBLOCK) failed"); return 1; } fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0) { puts ("eventfd2(EFD_NONBLOCK) does not set non-blocking mode"); return 1; } close (fd); 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/eventfd.c | 4 ++-- include/linux/eventfd.h | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/eventfd.c~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-eventfd fs/eventfd.c --- a/fs/eventfd.c~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-eventfd +++ a/fs/eventfd.c @@ -203,7 +203,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_eventfd2(unsigned in int fd; struct eventfd_ctx *ctx; - if (flags & ~EFD_CLOEXEC) + if (flags & ~(EFD_CLOEXEC | EFD_NONBLOCK)) return -EINVAL; ctx = kmalloc(sizeof(*ctx), GFP_KERNEL); @@ -218,7 +218,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_eventfd2(unsigned in * anon_inode_getfd() will install the fd. */ fd = anon_inode_getfd("[eventfd]", &eventfd_fops, ctx, - flags & O_CLOEXEC); + flags & (O_CLOEXEC | O_NONBLOCK)); if (fd < 0) kfree(ctx); return fd; diff -puN include/linux/eventfd.h~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-eventfd include/linux/eventfd.h --- a/include/linux/eventfd.h~flag-parameters-nonblock-in-eventfd +++ a/include/linux/eventfd.h @@ -10,11 +10,12 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_EVENTFD -/* For O_CLOEXEC */ +/* For O_CLOEXEC and O_NONBLOCK */ #include <linux/fcntl.h> /* Flags for eventfd2. */ #define EFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC +#define EFD_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd); int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, int n); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from drepper@xxxxxxxxxx are origin.patch linux-next.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
