[PATCH 16/18] flag parameters: NONBLOCK in pipe

From: Ulrich Drepper
Date: Tue May 06 2008 - 17:21:09 EST


This patch adds O_NONBLOCK support to pipe2. It is minimally more involved
than the patches for eventfd et.al but still trivial. The interfaces of the
create_write_pipe and create_read_pipe helper functions were changed and the
one other caller as well.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#ifndef __NR_pipe2
# ifdef __x86_64__
# define __NR_pipe2 293
# elif defined __i386__
# define __NR_pipe2 331
# else
# error "need __NR_pipe2"
# endif
#endif

int
main (void)
{
int fds[2];
if (syscall (__NR_pipe2, fds, 0) == -1)
{
puts ("pipe2(0) failed");
return 1;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
int fl = fcntl (fds[i], F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if (fl & O_NONBLOCK)
{
printf ("pipe2(0) set non-blocking mode for fds[%d]\n", i);
return 1;
}
close (fds[i]);
}

if (syscall (__NR_pipe2, fds, O_NONBLOCK) == -1)
{
puts ("pipe2(O_NONBLOCK) failed");
return 1;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
int fl = fcntl (fds[i], F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0)
{
printf ("pipe2(O_NONBLOCK) does not set non-blocking mode for fds[%d]\n", i);
return 1;
}
close (fds[i]);
}

puts ("OK");

return 0;
}
