[PATCH liburing 0/1] test: add epoll test case

[Stefano Garzarella]

Hi Jens,
I wrote the test case for epoll.

Since it fails also without sqpoll (Linux 5.4.13-201.fc31.x86_64),
can you take a look to understand if the test is wrong?

Tomorrow I'll travel, but on Wednesday I'll try this test with the patch
that I sent and also with the upstream kernel.

Thanks,
Stefano

You're not reaping CQ events, and hence you overflow the ring. Once
overflown, an attempt to submit new IO will returns in a -16/-EBUSY
return value. This is io_uring telling you that it won't submit more
IO until you've emptied the completion ring so io_uring can flush
the overflown entries to the ring.

How can I reaping CQ events? (I was hoping the epoll would help me with that)

What I'm seeing is that the producer (EPOLLOUT) can fill the SQ without issues,
the consumer (read()) is receiving all the buffers produced, but the thread
that frees the buffers (EPOLLIN) is not woken up.

I tried to set a timeout to the epoll_wait(), but the io_uring_peek_cqe()
returns -EAGAIN.

If I'm using a ring with 16 entries, it seems to work better, but
sometimes I lose events and the thread that frees the buffer doesn't wake up.

Maybe I'm missing something...

Thanks,
Stefano

OK, so that helps in terms of understanding the issue you are seeing with
it. I'll take a look at this, but it'll probably be a few days. You can
try and enable tracing, I see events completed just fine. Maybe a race
with your epoll wait and event reaping?

Could be. I'll try to investigate better enabling the tracing!

(discard previous email wrongly sent by my phone, sorry for the noise)

Okay, the issue was that my kernel doesn’t support IORING_FEAT_NODROP,
so for this reason I missed the CQ events.

Avoiding the CQ overflow keeping this condition true
(submitted - completed < n_entries), solves the issue.

I’ll try with a mainline kernel, handling also the -EBUSY returned by
io_uring_submit().

Thanks,
Stefano

I'll take a look, but your patches are coming through garbled and don't

Weird, I'm using git-publish as usual. I tried to download the patch
received from the ML, and I tried to reapply and it seams to work here.

Which kind of issue do you have? (just to fix my setup)

Anyway I pushed my tree here:

First I grabbed it from email, and I get the usual =3D (instead of =)
and =20 instead of a space. Longer lines also broken up, with an = at
the end.

Then I grabbed it from the lore io-uring archive, but it was the exact
same thing.

As per other email, I think you're having some coordination issues
with the reaping and submitting side being separated. If the reaper
isn't keeping up, you'll get the -EBUSY problem I saw. I'm assuming
that's the failure case you are also seeing, you didn't actually
mention how it fails for you?

I saw! I'll try to fix my setup.
The strange thing is that my git (v2.24.1) is able to apply that
malformed patch!
