This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fs: sendfile handles O_NONBLOCK of out_fd to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fs-sendfile-handles-o_nonblock-of-out_fd.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bdeb77bc2c405fa9f954c20269db175a0bd2793f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2022 21:37:10 -0700 Subject: fs: sendfile handles O_NONBLOCK of out_fd From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxx> commit bdeb77bc2c405fa9f954c20269db175a0bd2793f upstream. sendfile has to return EAGAIN if out_fd is nonblocking and the write into it would block. Here is a small reproducer for the problem: #define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/sendfile.h> #define FILE_SIZE (1UL << 30) int main(int argc, char **argv) { int p[2], fd; if (pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK)) return 1; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_TMPFILE, 0666); if (fd < 0) return 1; ftruncate(fd, FILE_SIZE); if (sendfile(p[1], fd, 0, FILE_SIZE) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "FAIL\n"); } if (sendfile(p[1], fd, 0, FILE_SIZE) != -1 || errno != EAGAIN) { fprintf(stderr, "FAIL\n"); } return 0; } It worked before b964bf53e540, it is stuck after b964bf53e540, and it works again with this fix. This regression occurred because do_splice_direct() calls pipe_write that handles O_NONBLOCK. Here is a trace log from the reproducer: 1) | __x64_sys_sendfile64() { 1) | do_sendfile() { 1) | __fdget() 1) | rw_verify_area() 1) | __fdget() 1) | rw_verify_area() 1) | do_splice_direct() { 1) | rw_verify_area() 1) | splice_direct_to_actor() { 1) | do_splice_to() { 1) | rw_verify_area() 1) | generic_file_splice_read() 1) + 74.153 us | } 1) | direct_splice_actor() { 1) | iter_file_splice_write() { 1) | __kmalloc() 1) 0.148 us | pipe_lock(); 1) 0.153 us | splice_from_pipe_next.part.0(); 1) 0.162 us | page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm(); ... 16 times 1) 0.159 us | page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm(); 1) | vfs_iter_write() { 1) | do_iter_write() { 1) | rw_verify_area() 1) | do_iter_readv_writev() { 1) | pipe_write() { 1) | mutex_lock() 1) 0.153 us | mutex_unlock(); 1) 1.368 us | } 1) 1.686 us | } 1) 5.798 us | } 1) 6.084 us | } 1) 0.174 us | kfree(); 1) 0.152 us | pipe_unlock(); 1) + 14.461 us | } 1) + 14.783 us | } 1) 0.164 us | page_cache_pipe_buf_release(); ... 16 times 1) 0.161 us | page_cache_pipe_buf_release(); 1) | touch_atime() 1) + 95.854 us | } 1) + 99.784 us | } 1) ! 107.393 us | } 1) ! 107.699 us | } Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220415005015.525191-1-avagin@xxxxxxxxx Fixes: b964bf53e540 ("teach sendfile(2) to handle send-to-pipe directly") Signed-off-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/read_write.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) --- a/fs/read_write.c +++ b/fs/read_write.c @@ -1250,6 +1250,9 @@ static ssize_t do_sendfile(int out_fd, i count, fl); file_end_write(out.file); } else { + if (out.file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) + fl |= SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK; + retval = splice_file_to_pipe(in.file, opipe, &pos, count, fl); } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from avagin@xxxxxxxxx are queue-5.15/fs-sendfile-handles-o_nonblock-of-out_fd.patch
