I think I was misremembered here. I had noted this before:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CABeXuvq7gCV2qPOo+Q8jvNyRaTvhkRLRbnL_oJ-AuK7Sp=P3QQ@mail.gmail.com/
"sys_io_pgetevents() does not seem to have this problem as we are still
checking signal_pending() here.
sys_pselect6() seems to have a similar problem. The changes to
sys_pselect6() also impact sys_select() as the changes are in the
common code path."
This was the code replaced for io_pgetevents by 854a6ed56839a40f6b is as below.
No matter what events completed, there was signal_pending() check
after the return from do_io_getevents().
--- a/fs/aio.c
+++ b/fs/aio.c
@@ -2110,18 +2110,9 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE6(io_pgetevents,
return ret;
ret = do_io_getevents(ctx_id, min_nr, nr, events, timeout ? &ts : NULL);
- if (signal_pending(current)) {
- if (ksig.sigmask) {
- current->saved_sigmask = sigsaved;
- set_restore_sigmask();
- }
-
- if (!ret)
- ret = -ERESTARTNOHAND;
- } else {
- if (ksig.sigmask)
- sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigsaved, NULL);
- }
+ restore_user_sigmask(ksig.sigmask, &sigsaved);
+ if (signal_pending(current) && !ret)
+ ret = -ERESTARTNOHAND;
Can I ask a simple question for my understanding?
man page for epoll_pwait says
EINTR
The call was interrupted by a signal handler before either any of the
requested events occurred or the timeout expired; see signal(7).
But it is not clear to me if we can figure out(without race) the
chronological order if one of the requested events are completed or a
signal came first.
Is this a correct exectation?
Also like pointed out above, this behavior is not consistent for all
such syscalls(io_pgetevents). Was this also by design?
