Subject: [PATCH] cachefiles: pass a poll key when waking the daemon
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:22:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910182200.1272489-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)
Keyless wakeups bypass epoll's event-mask filtering. With only
`EPOLLOUT` registered, any cachefiles_state_changed() call will wake
up the epoll_wait() system call, but will not return any events,
causing a busy loop.
Pass the relevant poll events with each wakeup so `epoll` can filter
out unwanted notifications.
Fixes: a5b3a80b899b ("CacheFiles: Provide read-and-reset release counters for cachefilesd")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Note: backports to older branches need to adjust ondemand.c as well
like this:
- wake_up_all(&cache->daemon_pollwq);
+ cachefiles_wake_poll(cache, EPOLLIN);
