[PATCH] util: use RETRY_ON_EINTR() on open() more consistently
Posted by Philipp Reisner 3 months, 3 weeks ago
As with many syscalls, open() might be interrupted by a signal.

The call trace
img_open_file()
  blk_new_open()
    raw_open()
      raw_open_common()
        qemu_open()
          qemu_open_internal()
            qemu_open_cloexec()

Ended up in calling open() without a retry loop around it.

The experienced logfile entry is:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=libvirt-2-format,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=2,write-cache=on,serial=1b990c4d13b74a4e90ea: Could not open '/dev/drbd1003': Interrupted system call

Add the RETRY_ON_EINTR() in qemu_open_cloexec() and remove it on
call-sites using qemu_open_old().

If you need to repost, please set the next version in your patch
(which will be v4). Also avoid replying to previous version /
discussions and your patch could be missed, see
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/submitting-a-patch.html#when-resending-patches-add-a-version-tag:

   Send each new revision as a new top-level thread, rather than
   burying it in-reply-to an earlier revision, as many reviewers
   are not looking inside deep threads for new patches.

Also please Cc qemu-block@nongnu.org since the block layer is
involved via the blk_new_open() call.

Regards,

Phil.
Re: [PATCH v3] util: use RETRY_ON_EINTR() on open() more consistently

Hi Philippe and everyone else on the thread,

In the meantime, I learned that we can cause the kernel to restart the
open() syscall by returning ERESTARTSYS from the kernel-level block
device driver side. It was our mistake from the DRBD side that we
returned EINTR instead.

The proposed patch to qemu is okay but not necessary. I will no
further pursuit the inclusion of this patch.

Sorry for the noise.

Best regards,
 Philipp
