[PATCH] n_tty: wake up poll(POLLRDNORM) on receiving data

From: TATSUKAWA KOSUKE(立川 江介)
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 03:17:31 EST


Event POLLRDNORM should be equivalent to POLLIN when used as event in
poll(). However, in n_tty driver, POLLRDNORM does not return until
timeout even if there is terminal input, whereas POLLIN returns.

The following test program works until kernel-3.17, but the test stops
in poll() after commit 57087d515441 ("tty: Fix spurious poll() wakeups").

[Steps to run test program]
$ cc -o test-pollrdnorm test-pollrdnorm.c
$ ./test-pollrdnorm
foo <-- Type in something from the terminal followed by [RET].
The string should be echoed back.

------------------------< test-pollrdnorm.c >------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <poll.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void main(void)
{
int n;
unsigned char buf[8];
struct pollfd fds[1] = {{ 0, POLLRDNORM, 0 }};

n = poll(fds, 1, -1);
if (n < 0)
perror("poll");
n = read(0, buf, 8);
if (n < 0)
perror("read");
if (n > 0)
write(1, buf, n);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The attached patch fixes this problem.
