RT Sigio broken on 2.4.19-pre8

RT Sigio broken on 2.4.19-pre8

Using the Dan Kegel's Poller_bench utility I noticed that RT SIGIO is not
working on 2.4.19-pre8.  Basically sigtimedwait() is always returning
SIGIO.  Note that 2.4.18 works fine.

Actually looking at it closer... It seems rtsig-nr keeping rising slowly
as the system runs.

What is this Poller_bench and where do I get it?

Ahh...yes..I see a few apps exhibiting bad behaviour because of RT Sigio
not working. :(

Anyone know if it's fixed in -aa3?(i'm using -aa2)

RedCarpet seems to be a primary exhibitor on my desktop box.

That sounds like the way I'm clearing the signal queue is not working.
Here's a minimal test case for clearing the signal queue.  Could
you try it and tell me what it says?
- Dan

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        sigset_t sigset;
        siginfo_t info;
        static struct timespec timeout = {0,0};

        // block delivery of SIGRTMIN
        sigemptyset(&sigset);
        sigaddset(&sigset, SIGRTMIN);
        assert(0 == sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL));

        // clear signal queue
        assert(0 == signal(SIGRTMIN, SIG_IGN)); // POSIX says this clears the queue

        // Make sure that cleared the queue.  (Note that timeout is zero here.)
        assert(sigtimedwait(&sigset, &info, &timeout) != SIGRTMIN);

        printf("test passed\n");
        exit(0);
}

Er, forgot to send the signal.  Corrected test case:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    sigset_t sigset;
    siginfo_t info;
    static struct timespec timeout = {0,0};

    // block delivery of SIGRTMIN
    sigemptyset(&sigset);
    sigaddset(&sigset, SIGRTMIN);
    assert(0 == sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL));

    raise(SIGRTMIN);

    // clear signal queue
    assert(0 == signal(SIGRTMIN, SIG_IGN)); // POSIX says this clears the queue

    // Make sure that cleared the queue.  (Note that timeout is zero here.)
    assert(sigtimedwait(&sigset, &info, &timeout) != SIGRTMIN);

    printf("test passed\n");
    exit(0);
}

Just tried the corrected version, still passed.

I can't reproduce the problem here.  

What version of dkftpbench are you using?  What parameters?
Can you send me your kernel .config file?

I did notice and fix an embarassing problem in Poller_bench of 
dkftpbench-0.42; it aborted when Poller_sigio sent its initial readiness
notification (it's spurious, but programs are supposed to
be able to handle that).  Fix is at 
http://www.kegel.com/dkftpbench/pb.patch

Thanks,
Dan

The test passed.  What it looks like is, the kernel for some reason is not
decrementing the queued count for some reason.  I have a server doing RT
sigio and after a while, the rtsig-nr count goes up to 1024 and never
comes back down even if I kill that process.
