#1278421 — [PATCH] hw_random: core, sleep interruptible in read

FromJiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>

Subject[PATCH] hw_random: core, sleep interruptible in read
Message-ID<qzaRY-16M-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
hwrng kthread can be waiting via hwrng_fillfn for some data from a rng
like virtio-rng:
hwrng           D ffff880093e17798     0   382      2 0x00000000
...
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff817339c6>] wait_for_completion_killable+0x96/0x210
 [<ffffffffa00aa1b7>] virtio_read+0x57/0xf0 [virtio_rng]
 [<ffffffff814f4a35>] hwrng_fillfn+0x75/0x130
 [<ffffffff810aa243>] kthread+0xf3/0x110

And when some user program tries to read the /dev node in this state,
we get:
rngd            D ffff880093e17798     0   762      1 0x00000004
...
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff817351ac>] mutex_lock_nested+0x15c/0x3e0
 [<ffffffff814f478e>] rng_dev_read+0x6e/0x240
 [<ffffffff81231958>] __vfs_read+0x28/0xe0
 [<ffffffff81232393>] vfs_read+0x83/0x130

And this is indeed unkillable. So use mutex_lock_interruptible
instead of mutex_lock in rng_dev_read and exit immediatelly when
interrupted. And possibly return already read data, if any (as POSIX
allows).

Shouldn't this be ERESTARTSYS?

Yes, it actually can, given the retval is returned only if no data were
read yet.

#1278865 — [PATCH v2] hw_random: core, sleep interruptible in read

hwrng kthread can be waiting via hwrng_fillfn for some data from a rng
like virtio-rng:
hwrng           D ffff880093e17798     0   382      2 0x00000000

Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff817339c6>] wait_for_completion_killable+0x96/0x210
 [<ffffffffa00aa1b7>] virtio_read+0x57/0xf0 [virtio_rng]
 [<ffffffff814f4a35>] hwrng_fillfn+0x75/0x130
 [<ffffffff810aa243>] kthread+0xf3/0x110

And when some user program tries to read the /dev node in this state,
we get:
rngd            D ffff880093e17798     0   762      1 0x00000004

 [<ffffffff81231958>] __vfs_read+0x28/0xe0
 [<ffffffff81232393>] vfs_read+0x83/0x130

And this is indeed unkillable. So use mutex_lock_interruptible
instead of mutex_lock in rng_dev_read and exit immediatelly when
interrupted. And possibly return already read data, if any (as POSIX
allows).

v2: use ERESTARTSYS instead of EINTR
