Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/eventfd: reset deferred signal state
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 01:57:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503175710.37209-1-yufan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Yufan Chen <ericterminal@gmail.com>
Recursive eventfd wakeups must defer io_uring eventfd signaling because
eventfd_signal_mask() rejects reentry from eventfd wakeup handlers. The
io_ev_fd ops bit tracks an outstanding deferred signal so that the same
rcu_head is not queued twice.
That bit is only set today. Once the first deferred callback runs, later
recursive notifications still see the bit set and skip queueing another
deferred signal. This can leave new completions without a matching eventfd
wake after the first recursive deferral.
Clear the pending bit before issuing the deferred signal. If the wakeup
path recurses while the callback runs, a new signal can be queued for the
next RCU grace period while the current callback keeps its reference until
it returns.
