Subject: aio: wake all waiters when destroying ctx
From: Roland Dreier <[email protected]>
commit e91f90bb0bb10be9cc8efd09a3cf4ecffcad0db1 upstream.
The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy() only
wakes up one of the threads. Fix this by using wake_up_all() in the aio
code paths where we want to make sure no one gets stuck.
// t.c -- compile with gcc -lpthread -laio t.c
#include <libaio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
static const int nthr = 2;
void *getev(void *ctx)
{
struct io_event ev;
io_getevents(ctx, 1, 1, &ev, NULL);
printf("io_getevents returned\n");
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
io_context_t ctx = 0;
pthread_t thread[nthr];
int i;
io_setup(1024, &ctx);
for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
pthread_create(&thread[i], NULL, getev, ctx);
sleep(1);
io_destroy(ctx);
for (i = 0; i < nthr; ++i)
pthread_join(thread[i], NULL);
return 0;
}
