Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit e3c1c4fd9e6d14059ed93ebfe15e1c57793b1a05 upstream.
In 1448769c9cdb ("random: check for signal_pending() outside of need_resched() check"), Jann pointed out that we previously were only checking the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and TIF_SIGPENDING flags if the process had TIF_NEED_RESCHED set, which meant in practice, super long reads to /dev/[u]random would delay signal handling by a long time. I tried this using the below program, and indeed I wasn't able to interrupt a /dev/urandom read until after several megabytes had been read. The bug he fixed has always been there, and so code that reads from /dev/urandom without checking the return value of read() has mostly worked for a long time, for most sizes, not just for <= 256.
Maybe it makes sense to keep that code working. The reason it was so small prior, ignoring the fact that it didn't work anyway, was likely because /dev/random used to block, and that could happen for pretty large lengths of time while entropy was gathered. But now, it's just a chacha20 call, which is extremely fast and is just operating on pure data, without having to wait for some external event. In that sense, /dev/[u]random is a lot more like /dev/zero.
Taking a page out of /dev/zero's read_zero() function, it always returns at least one chunk, and then checks for signals after each chunk. Chunk sizes there are of length PAGE_SIZE. Let's just copy the same thing for /dev/[u]random, and check for signals and cond_resched() for every PAGE_SIZE amount of data. This makes the behavior more consistent with expectations, and should mitigate the impact of Jann's fix for the age-old signal check bug.
