You're testing different thing. You're not reading anything, so at
least I get endlessly 'Input is available from /dev/random', and
whenever you type something, also in terminal there's data available.
If nobody reads data from /dev/random, of course there is data
availble.
I modified your program (see end), and results: on 2.2.19 and 2.2.16
everything works ok, in 2.4.5 not, terminal input (with return)
randomly makes select return. When looking from random.c, in 2.2.19
poll_wait is called once, like this:
poll_wait(file, &random_poll_wait, wait);
And in 2.4.5:
poll_wait(file, &random_read_wait, wait);
poll_wait(file, &random_write_wait, wait);
I think I got idea how to do it right, make one wait queue for poll,
which is woken up when read OR write queue is woken up.
So, now everybody just check your driver how does it do poll.
----Here is modified test. Try this to get real results:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/poll.h> #include <errno.h> #include <string.h>
static const char dev[]="/dev/random";
int main(int args, char *argv[]) { int fd, retval; fd_set rfds; char buff[1024];
if((fd = open(dev, O_RDONLY)) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Can't open device, %s\n", dev); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for(;;) { FD_ZERO(&rfds); FD_SET(fd, &rfds); FD_SET(STDIN_FILENO, &rfds); retval = select(fd+1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, NULL); if(retval < 0) fprintf(stderr, "Error was %s\n", strerror(errno)); printf("Return = %d\n", retval); if(FD_ISSET(fd, &rfds)) { printf("Input is available from %s\n", dev); read(fd,buff,1024); } if(FD_ISSET(STDIN_FILENO, &rfds)) { printf("Input is available from %s\n", "terminal"); read(STDIN_FILENO,buff,1024); } } if(close(fd) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Can't close device, %s\n", dev); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } return 0; }
