Subject: [PATCH V3 0/2] handle polling errors
Date: Sun,  6 Jan 2013 15:18:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357456718-3072-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)

This is an update version of last version to fix the handling of polling errors
in vhost/vhost_net.

Currently, vhost and vhost_net ignore polling errors which can lead kernel
crashing when it tries to remove itself from waitqueue after the polling
failure. Fix this by checking the poll->wqh before the removing and report an
error when meet polling errors.

Changes from v2:
- check poll->wqh instead of the wrong assumption about POLLERR and waitqueue
- drop the whole tx polling state check since it was replaced by the wqh
  checking
- drop the buggy tuntap patch

Changes from v1:
- restore the state before the ioctl when vhost_init_used() fails
- log the error when meet polling errors in the data path
- don't put into waitqueue when tun_chr_poll() return POLLERR

Jason Wang (2):
  vhost_net: correct error handling in vhost_net_set_backend()
  vhost: handle polling errors
