Subject: [PATCH] poll/select: initialize triggered field of struct poll_wqueues
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:30:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090815193024.121926e6@xilun.lan.proformatique.com> (raw)

Hi,

That's only the second time I read fs/select.c so this has to be
reviewed carefully.
It has been quickly tested on my Debian Lenny x86_32 box and everything
seems to works fine on the surface.

Cheers,
Guillaume Knispel



poll/select: initialize triggered field of struct poll_wqueues

The triggered field of struct poll_wqueues introduced in commit
5f820f648c92a5ecc771a96b3c29aa6e90013bba "poll: allow f_op->poll to
sleep" was set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and
later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before.
As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be
non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first
poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not
be called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done.

This patch initialize triggered to 0 in poll_initwait() so the ->poll()
are not called twice before the process goes to sleep when it needs to.
