From 2c6607c611cb7bf0a6750bcea34a258144e302c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 10:54:29 -0800 Subject: net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable() Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI. He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem. Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal POLLPRI. Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a seldom used feature this seems a good compromise. Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test program as well.
