Commit Message

Dixit, Ashutosh March 31, 2020, 5:22 a.m. UTC
It is wrong to block the user thread in the next poll when OA data is
already available which could not fit in the user buffer provided in
the previous read. In several cases the exact user buffer size is not
known. Blocking user space in poll can lead to data loss when the
buffer size used is smaller than the available data.

This change fixes this issue and allows user space to read all OA data
even when using a buffer size smaller than the available data using
multiple non-blocking reads rather than staying blocked in poll till
the next timer interrupt.

v2: Fix ret value for blocking reads (Umesh)
v3: Mistake during patch send (Ashutosh)
v4: Remove -EAGAIN from comment (Umesh)
v5: Improve condition for clearing pollin and return (Lionel)

I forgot to mention this needs to be Cc: stable.

Still one nit below which should make the remaining function a bit simpler.


Thanks for your time.

I think you can keep using ret and just change the loop to while (ret >= 
0) (which means no failure).

You will get -ENOSPC when the whole buffer is filled or some other error 
which should trigger stream closure.

Finally you can 0 if nothing was written but there was nothing to read 
and that keeps the read going.

I will Cc stable or send them the patch after it's finalized, hope that
will be ok?

Sorry, but I did not follow you here. Are you saying even when we have data
to return (offset > 0) you want to go back and block (in the
wait_unlocked())? I am not sure if that will be acceptable, I'd think the
expectation would be to return data at the rate of the OA timer.

Here I really lost you. Are you talking about -ENOSPC returning after
blocking multiple times and then resetting the error to 0 somehow?

Could you please look at v6 and let me know what you think? I have
eliminated the second ret variable by changing the do-while loop to "do { }
while (!offset && !ret);" and thus mostly retain the original logic.

Thanks!
