The description of the problem is the following: if N (>1) threads are waiting on ep->wq for new events and M (>1) events come, it is quite likely that >1 wakeups hit the same wait queue entry, because there is quite a big window between __add_wait_queue_exclusive() and the following __remove_wait_queue() calls in ep_poll() function. This can lead to lost wakeups, because thread, which was woken up, can handle not all the events in ->rdllist. (in better words the problem is described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/7/905) The idea of the current patch is to use init_wait() instead of init_waitqueue_entry(). Internally init_wait() sets autoremove_wake_function as a callback, which removes the wait entry atomically (under the wq locks) from the list, thus the next coming wakeup hits the next wait entry in the wait queue, thus preventing lost wakeups. Problem is very well reproduced by the epoll60 test case [1]. Wait entry removal on wakeup has also performance benefits, because there is no need to take a ep->lock and remove wait entry from the queue after the successful wakeup. Here is the timing output of the epoll60 test case: With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the code prior 339ddb53d373): real 0m6.970s user 0m49.786s sys 0m0.113s After this patch: real 0m5.220s user 0m36.879s sys 0m0.019s The other testcase is the stress-epoll [2], where one thread consumes all the events and other threads produce many events: With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the code prior 339ddb53d373): threads events/ms run-time ms 8 5427 1474 16 6163 2596 32 6824 4689 64 7060 9064 128 6991 18309 After this patch: threads events/ms run-time ms 8 5598 1429 16 7073 2262 32 7502 4265 64 7640 8376 128 7634 16767 (number of "events/ms" represents event bandwidth, thus higher is better; number of "run-time ms" represents overall time spent doing the benchmark, thus lower is better) [1] tools/testing/selftests/filesystems/epoll/epoll_wakeup_test.c [2] https://github.com/rouming/test-tools/blob/master/stress-epoll.c Signed-off-by: Roman Penyaev Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Khazhismel Kumykov Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Heiher Cc: Jason Baron Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Jason Baron --- fs/eventpoll.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/eventpoll.c b/fs/eventpoll.c index d6ba0e52439b..aba03ee749f8 100644 --- a/fs/eventpoll.c +++ b/fs/eventpoll.c @@ -1822,7 +1822,6 @@ static int ep_poll(struct eventpoll *ep, struct epoll_event __user *events, { int res = 0, eavail, timed_out = 0; u64 slack = 0; - bool waiter = false; wait_queue_entry_t wait; ktime_t expires, *to = NULL; @@ -1867,21 +1866,23 @@ static int ep_poll(struct eventpoll *ep, struct epoll_event __user *events, */ ep_reset_busy_poll_napi_id(ep); - /* - * We don't have any available event to return to the caller.
