Under tcp memory pressure, calling epoll_wait() in edge triggered mode after -EAGAIN, can result in an indefinite hang in epoll_wait(), even when there is sufficient memory available to continue making progress. The problem is that when __sk_mem_schedule() returns 0 under memory pressure, we do not set the SOCK_NOSPACE flag in the tcp write paths (tcp_sendmsg() or do_tcp_sendpages()). Then, since SOCK_NOSPACE is used to trigger wakeups when incoming acks create sufficient new space in the write queue, all outstanding packets are acked, but we never wake up with the the EPOLLOUT that we are expecting from epoll_wait(). This issue is currently limited to epoll() when used in edge trigger mode, since 'tcp_poll()', does in fact currently set SOCK_NOSPACE. This is sufficient for poll()/select() and epoll() in level trigger mode. However, in edge trigger mode, epoll() is relying on the write path to set SOCK_NOSPACE. EPOLL(7) says that in edge-trigger mode we can only call epoll_wait() after read/write return -EAGAIN. Thus, in the case of the socket write, we are relying on the fact that tcp_sendmsg()/network write paths are going to issue a wakeup for us at some point in the future when we get -EAGAIN. Normally, epoll() edge trigger works fine when we've exceeded the sk->sndbuf because in that case we do set SOCK_NOSPACE. However, when we return -EAGAIN from the write path b/c we are over the tcp memory limits and not b/c we are over the sndbuf, we are never going to get another wakeup. I can reproduce this issue, using SO_SNDBUF, since __sk_mem_schedule() will return 0, or failure more readily with SO_SNDBUF: 1) create socket and set SO_SNDBUF to N 2) add socket as edge trigger 3) write to socket and block in epoll on -EAGAIN 4) cause tcp mem pressure via: echo "<small val>" > net.ipv4.tcp_mem The fix here is simply to set SOCK_NOSPACE in sk_stream_wait_memory() when the socket is non-blocking. Note that SOCK_NOSPACE, in addition to waking up outstanding waiters is also used to expand the size of the sk->sndbuf. However, we will not expand it by setting it in this case because tcp_should_expand_sndbuf(), ensures that no expansion occurs when we are under tcp memory pressure. Note that we could still hang if sk->sk_wmem_queue is 0, when we get the -EAGAIN. In this case the SOCK_NOSPACE bit will not help, since we are waiting for and event that will never happen. I believe that this case is harder to hit (and did not hit in my testing), in that over the tcp 'soft' memory limits, we continue to guarantee a minimum write buffer size. Perhaps, we could return -ENOSPC in this case, or maybe we simply issue a wakeup in this case, such that we keep retrying the write. Note that this case is not specific to epoll() ET, but rather would affect blocking sockets as well. So I view this patch as bringing epoll() edge-trigger into sync with the current poll()/select()/epoll() level trigger and blocking sockets behavior.
