[PATCH v3 3/5] signalfd: use wake_up_pollfree()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-12-09 01:06:36
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Biggers <redacted>

wake_up_poll() uses nr_exclusive=1, so it's not guaranteed to wake up
all exclusive waiters.  Yet, POLLFREE *must* wake up all waiters.  epoll
and aio poll are fortunately not affected by this, but it's very
fragile.  Thus, the new function wake_up_pollfree() has been introduced.

Convert signalfd to use wake_up_pollfree().

Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Fixes: d80e731ecab4 ("epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()")
