From 7f674025d9f7321dea11b802cc0ab3f09cbe51c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jane Chu Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2020 16:41:39 -0600 Subject: libnvdimm/security: ensure sysfs poll thread woke up and fetch updated attr commit 7d988097c546 ("acpi/nfit, libnvdimm/security: Add security DSM overwrite support") adds a sysfs_notify_dirent() to wake up userspace poll thread when the "overwrite" operation has completed. But the notification is issued before the internal dimm security state and flags have been updated, so the userspace poll thread wakes up and fetches the not-yet-updated attr and falls back to sleep, forever. But if user from another terminal issue "ndctl wait-overwrite nmemX" again, the command returns instantly.
