Can't really the changes in net/9p, but I am not sure. !(n & EPOLLOUT) means that pipe is full, nothing wrong. We need to kick m->rq in this case. Dominique says: For me the problem isn't so much that this gets ERESTARTSYS but that it nevers gets to read the 7 bytes that are available? Yes. Of course I do not pretend I fully understand the problem, but it seems this is because p9_read_work() doesn't set Rworksched and doesn't do schedule_work(&m->rq) if list_empty(&m->req_list). However, if the pipe is full, before the commit aaec5a95d59615523db0 ("pipe_read: don't wake up the writer if the pipe is still full"), p9_read_work() -> p9_fd_read() -> kernel_read(ts->rd) triggered the unnecessary wakeup. This wakeup calls p9_pollwake() shich kicks p9_poll_workfn() -> p9_poll_mux(), and p9_poll_mux() will notice EPOLLIN and schedule_work(&m->rq). May be the patch below makes more sense?
