n_tty: wake up poll(POLLRDNORM) on receiving data
commit c816b2e6 upstream. The poll man page says POLLRDNORM is equivalent to POLLIN when used as an event. $ man poll <snip> POLLRDNORM Equivalent to POLLIN. However, in n_tty driver, POLLRDNORM does not return until timeout even if there is terminal input, whereas POLLIN returns. The following test program works until kernel-3.17, but the test stops in poll() after commit 57087d51 ("tty: Fix spurious poll() wakeups"). [Steps to run test program] $ cc -o test-pollrdnorm test-pollrdnorm.c $ ./test-pollrdnorm foo <-- Type in something from the terminal followed by [RET]. The string should be echoed back. ------------------------< test-pollrdnorm.c >------------------------ #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <poll.h> #include <unistd.h> void main(void) { int n; unsigned char buf[8]; struct pollfd fds[1] = {{ 0, POLLRDNORM, 0 }}; n = poll(fds, 1, -1); if (n < 0) perror("poll"); n = read(0, buf, 8); if (n < 0) perror("read"); if (n > 0) write(1, buf, n); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The attached patch fixes this problem. Many calls to wake_up_interruptible_poll() in the kernel source code already specify "POLLIN | POLLRDNORM".
