Commit Message

Joe Damato May 25, 2024, 12:38 a.m. UTC
As of Linux kernel 6.9, some ioctls and a parameters structure have been
introduced which allow user programs to control whether a particular
epoll context will busy poll.

Update the headers to include these for the convenience of user apps.

Look good, I just think this should a newer tests instead of a extra
subtest on current tst-epoll.c.

Ok, this follow kernel commit 18e2bf0edf4dd.

I take this field would continue to be zero in future versions.

The test look ok, although I think it should be move to a new test so for
the !ioctl_supported it can return TEST_UNSUPPORTED (and tester knows that
some features might not be supported/check on current kernel).

Thank you very much for your time and energy giving this a review.

I am happy to move the test to a separate test in a v2 if you prefer
that. I wrote the test this way because I saw how (for example)
epoll_pwait2 was tested in tst-epoll.c (with a check that it is
supported and then the real test).

If you'd still prefer that I move the ioctl test to a separate file,
please let me know. In that case, perhaps a future work can be
moving the pwait2 test to its own file, as well.

Thank you. I can fix this in the v2.

Related question: is there a script that checks for minor style nits
like this? Sorry if I missed such a script in the docs somewhere.

FWIW: the kernel has a script that checks for nits like this which
is very helpful.

Yes; in the v2 I can mention this kernel commit SHA and link to the
line in gitweb in the commit message to make it easier to check in
the future, if you like.

Please let me know.

The __pad field is checked by the kernel to ensure that it is zero
when EPIOCSPARAMS is used (otherwise an error is returned).

It is possible that bits of the __pad field may be used for other
purposes in the future; I don't have any specific plan right now.

Since the kernel always checks that __pad == 0 and sets __pad = 0,
it would potentially be possible to make __pad a bit field of just 1
bit and use the other bits for a different purpose in the future.

That said, I don't think that changes anything about this test.

OK, I can do that. As I mentioned above, I was following the pattern
in place in tst-epoll for epoll_pwait2 but if you prefer a separate
test for the ioctl, please let me know.

Thanks again for your time reviewing this.

Yeah, I think it was an oversight from my part and I think I will probably
sent a patch to split this test for the epoll_pwait2.  I think it is more
informative to user if he knows when and why tests are either failing or
not run due some kernel limitation.
