When application sending data more than sndbuf_space, there have chances
application will sleep in epoll_wait, and will never be wakeup again. This
is caused by a race between smc_poll and smc_cdc_tx_handler.
application tasklet
smc_tx_sendmsg(len > sndbuf_space) |
epoll_wait for EPOLL_OUT,timeout=0 |
smc_poll |
if (!smc->conn.sndbuf_space) |
| smc_cdc_tx_handler
| atomic_add sndbuf_space
| smc_tx_sndbuf_nonfull
| if (!test_bit SOCK_NOSPACE)
| do not sk_write_space;
set_bit SOCK_NOSPACE; |
return mask=0; |
Application will sleep in epoll_wait as smc_poll returns 0. And
smc_cdc_tx_handler will not call sk_write_space because the SOCK_NOSPACE
has not be set. If there is no inflight cdc msg, sk_write_space will not be
called any more, and application will sleep in epoll_wait forever.
So check sndbuf_space again after NOSPACE flag is set to break the race.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
