Subject: [60/94] wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()
Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 04:49:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <lsq.1369712993.310594029@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <lsq.1369712992.755341692@decadent.org.uk>

3.2.46-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com>

commit 4c663cfc523a88d97a8309b04a089c27dc57fd7e upstream.

Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses.  However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed.  If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.

Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true.  This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").

Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915.  One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics.  I very much like this."

One such bug is reported at
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64133
