I couldn't find signalfd core v8 on lkml, so let's look at v7

General comments:
- All these patches will be considered a 100% regression by the
linux-on-a-cellphone people. What do we have to do to make all of this
stuff Kconfigurable?
- All this code is moving us toward being able to unify all asynchronous
event handling under epoll, yes?
If so, it is a competitor to kevent, only it's coming from the other
direction.
I personally find it an attractive competitor, because it is much more
incremental and is easier from a design POV. But what are its
shortcomings wrt kevent? Do we have a feel for the what the performance
difference will be?
Which other kernel subsystems need to be wired up for this approach to
reach the same level of capability as kevent?
- Some poor schmuck needs to document all this stuff. Other poor schmucks
need to program to it, and to develop libraries which talk to it, etc.
Other schmucks need to understand and maintain it. I judge the code and
the patches to be inadequately documented.
Apart from general code commentary, which I will point out at the
relevant sites, I wonder about things like:
- What are the sharing semantics?
- Across dup(), dup2() and fork()?
- If two !CLONE_SIGHAND, CLONE_FS threads are sharing a signalfd and one
alters its signal mask?
- If two processes are sharing a signalfd across fork() and one
alters its signal mask or something?
- What are the effects upon the signalfd if the process alters its
signal state?
- What happens if a task has multiple signalfds open? Does one
signal get delivered to all of the fds?
IMO all combinations and permutations should be documented for
posterity and it should be done now so we can review this design.
Because my next question is "What do Ulrich and co think of these
interfaces", but I'm not sure that we're ready to take it to them yet.
Similar observations apply to timerfd and maybe eventfd.
Please cc Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@xxxxxxx> (aka "poor schmuck
#1") on future patches as Michael is hopefully the person who will be
documenting these interfaces and he has a habit of discovering
interesting shortcomings when he does that.

I dunno, I find all these forward declarations to be a fugly waste of
space, and a maintenance hassle. I think a lot of them can be made to go
away with some very simple code reorganisations.

This function needs documentation - it really is quite obscure. What does
its return value mean? Why does it sometimes do lock_task_sighand() and
sometimes does not? I assume that it's handling exitted tasks in some
fashion but it it is not at all clear.

If lk->task can be NULL in signalfd_lock(), how come it cannot be NULL
here? Because tsk->sighand->siglock prevents the task from exitting? Some
commentary describing the synchronisation design here would be useful.

Who is "us" here? The tasks which have this fd open? The tasks which
share the calling process's sighand_struct?

Bug. __clear_user() doesn't return -EFAULT.
I'm looking for an access_ok() and can't find it. Did we just offer users

This function could do with some commentary describing the constraints upon
`count', the semantics of the return value and some description of what it
actually copies into userspace.
lseek doesn't make any sense on this fd, hence signalfd (and eventfd and
timerfd) should be using nonseekable_open(), no?

We prefer
locked = signalfd_lock(ctx, &lk);
if (locked)

Did you consider using prepare_to_wait()? It can save a cacheline

It would be nice to do it this way:
struct signalfd_info {
union {
struct {
__u32 signo;
__s32 err;
...
__u64 addr;
};
char __pad[128];
};
};
But perhaps the use of anonymous unions and structs will cause problems for
userspace which is using old gcc (but there's a good chance that we've
already gone and done that somewhere else).
We could of course do
struct signalfd_info {
union {
struct {
__u32 signo;
__s32 err;
...
__u64 addr;
} s;
char __pad[128];
} u;
};
but that's such a mouthful that I think I prefer the manually-maintained
__pad[48].
Please add a
BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct signalfd_info) != 128);
somewhere.
And please add a comment explaining why this structure needs to have a
fixed size.

yes, it does.
Are these functions so simple and obvious that they don't require any
