Subject: [PATCH 1/2] SUNRPC: maintain an rpc_task signalled flag
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 03:07:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105030710.2652306-2-tmenninger@everpuredata.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105030710.2652306-1-tmenninger@everpuredata.com>

Commit 5bbd6e863b15a ("SUNRPC: Prevent looping due to rpc_signal_task()
races") removed the RPC_TASK_SIGNALLED runstate flag because maintaining
it independently from the errno in tk_rpc_status introduced races
between an errno being recorded and the task being in a SIGNALLED state.
A signalled task is inferred by tk_rpc_status containing -ERESTARTSYS.

This reintroduces the concept by coupling a "task signalled" bit with
the errno. The tk_rpc_status int becomes a tk_rpc_error_state atomic64_t
whose low 32 bits are a signed errno representing the first observed RPC
error, as tk_rpc_status previously held, and bit 32 is 1 if the task is
signalled and 0 otherwise.

With this change, we can record an RPC status and later escalate the
status to "signalled" without overwriting (and losing) the first
recorded error.
