Subject: [PATCH 7.3.y] rust_binder: wake epoll on self-work queued to poll thread
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 15:12:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104201229.343904-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110457-captive-licking-323f@gregkh>

From: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 985955d8e6b2b15cfd65b7ac6893e3a5a90c5870 ]

When a thread pushes work to its own todo list, InnerThread::push_work()
returns PushWorkRes::OkNotifyPoll if the thread uses epoll, but four
call sites in thread.rs discard this return value. As a result, a
non-blocking BC_* write that enqueues work onto the calling thread's
todo list without also reading will not wake epoll. Check the return
value and call self.process.notify_poll(false) when
PushWorkRes::OkNotifyPoll is returned.

This is similar to commit 97830f3c3088 ("binder: signal epoll threads of
self-work"), but in C Binder pending thread work also prevented
subsequent process work from waking epoll, causing a permanent hang,
which is not the case in Rust Binder. This means that in practice, it
merely delays notifications rather than completely failing to send them.
