From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 42288cb44c4b5fff7653bc392b583a2b8bd6a8c0 upstream. Several ->poll() implementations are special in that they use a waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, using 'wake_up_poll(wq, EPOLLHUP | POLLFREE);'. However, that has a bug: wake_up_poll() calls __wake_up() with nr_exclusive=1. Therefore, if there are multiple "exclusive" waiters, and the wakeup function for the first one returns a positive value, only that one will be called. That's *not* what's needed for POLLFREE; POLLFREE is special in that it really needs to wake up everyone. Considering the three non-blocking poll systems: - io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE at all, so it is broken anyway. - aio poll is unaffected, since it doesn't support exclusive waits. However, that's fragile, as someone could add this feature later. - epoll doesn't appear to be broken by this, since its wakeup function returns 0 when it sees POLLFREE. But this is fragile. Although there is a workaround (see epoll), it's better to define a function which always sends POLLFREE to all waiters. Add such a function. Also make it verify that the queue really becomes empty after all waiters have been woken up.
