stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.137 commit 48c3900210587c929967f8ffb9a3a51940a94386 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60PLB
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit a16ceb13961068f7209e34d7984f8e42d2c06159 upstream.
If a process is killed or otherwise exits while having active network connections and many threads waiting on epoll_wait, the threads will all be woken immediately, but not removed from ep->wq. Then when network traffic scans ep->wq in wake_up, every wakeup attempt will fail, and will not remove the entries from the list.
This means that the cost of the wakeup attempt is far higher than usual, does not decrease, and this also competes with the dying threads trying to actually make progress and remove themselves from the wq.
Handle this by removing visited epoll wq entries unconditionally, rather than only when the wakeup succeeds - the structure of ep_poll means that the only potential loss is the timed_out->eavail heuristic, which now can race and result in a redundant ep_send_events attempt. (But only when incoming data and a timeout actually race, not on every timeout)
Shakeel added:
: We are seeing this issue in production with real workloads and it has : caused hard lockups. Particularly network heavy workloads with a lot : of threads in epoll_wait() can easily trigger this issue if they get : killed (oom-killed in our case).
