read/write/accept, then the expectation is that the blocked thread will
exit and the close complete.
Since only one fd is affected, but many fd can refer to the same file,
the close code can only request the fs code unblock with ERESTART.
Fixed for pipes and sockets, ERESTART will only be generated after such
a close - so there should be no change for other programs.
Also rename fo_abort() to fo_restart() (this used to be fo_drain()).
Fixes PR/26567
do drain' in many places, whereas fo_drain() was called in order to force
blocking read()/write() etc calls to return to userspace so that a close()
call from a different thread can complete.
In the sockets code comment out the broken code in the inner function,
it was being called from compat code.
than one active reference to a file descriptor. It should dislodge threads
sleeping while holding a reference to the descriptor. Implemented only for
sockets but should be extended to pipes, fifos, etc.
Fixes the case of a multithreaded process doing something like the
following, which would have hung until the process got a signal.
thr0 accept(fd, ...)
thr1 close(fd)
devmajor_t/devminor_t, as proposed on tech-kern.
This avoids 64-bit arithmetics and 64-bit printf formats in parts
of the kernel where it is not really useful, and helps clarity.
- Add a lot of missing selinit() and seldestroy() calls.
- Merge selwakeup() and selnotify() calls into a single selnotify().
- Add an additional 'events' argument to selnotify() call. It will
indicate which event (POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, etc) happen. If unknown,
zero may be used.
Note: please pass appropriate value of 'events' where possible.
Proposed on: <tech-kern>
configuration routine has been attached to the putter device minor
number, the configuration routine will be called when the device
is opened. This is required for subsystems which enter the kernel
only through the file descriptor and cannot configure themselves
via another route (like puffs does via the mount() syscall). Keep
the minor number 0 for "wildcard" uses where we do not require a
hardwired config routine (e.g. the puffs case).
