Revision d856f32a86b2b015ab180ab7a55e455ed8d3ccc5 authored by Benjamin LaHaise on 24 August 2014, 17:14:05 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 24 August 2014, 22:47:27 UTC
As reported by Dan Aloni, commit f8567a3845ac ("aio: fix aio request
leak when events are reaped by userspace") introduces a regression when
user code attempts to perform io_submit() with more events than are
available in the ring buffer.  Reverting that commit would reintroduce a
regression when user space event reaping is used.

Fixing this bug is a bit more involved than the previous attempts to fix
this regression.  Since we do not have a single point at which we can
count events as being reaped by user space and io_getevents(), we have
to track event completion by looking at the number of events left in the
event ring.  So long as there are as many events in the ring buffer as
there have been completion events generate, we cannot call
put_reqs_available().  The code to check for this is now placed in
refill_reqs_available().

A test program from Dan and modified by me for verifying this bug is available
at http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/20140824-aio_bug.c .
