Thanks @normalperson - I understand you aren't interested much in Ruby but wish you the best. Thanks for chiming in promptly. I probably wouldn't characterise this as an incompatibility, because this problem can surface if the user explicitly opts into non-blocking IO. So, that's a valid state for the file descriptor and we need to handle it. I believe we should involve the authors of io_uring in this discussion because it seems to me we need a more general solution. In general, file descriptors non-blocking state is something that we cannot anticipate. https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/364 ---------------------------------------- Bug #17664: Behavior of sockets changed in Ruby 3.0 to non-blocking https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17664#change-92522 * Author: ciconia (Sharon Rosner) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * ruby -v: 3.0.0 * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I'm not sure this is a bug, but apparently a change was introduced in Ruby 3.0 that makes sockets non-blocking by default. This change was apparently introduced as part of the work on the [FiberScheduler interface](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blame/78f188524f551c97b1a7a44ae13514729f1a21c7/ext/socket/init.c#L411-L434). This change of behaviour is not discussed in the Ruby 3.0.0 release notes. This change complicates the implementation of an io_uring-based fiber scheduler, since io_uring SQE's on fd's with `O_NONBLOCK` can return `EAGAIN` just like normal syscalls. Using io_uring with non-blocking fd's defeats the whole purpose of using io_uring in the first place. A workaround I have put in place in the Polyphony [io_uring backend](https://github.com/digital-fabric/polyphony/blob/d3c9cf3ddc1f414387948fa40e5f6a24f68bf045/ext/polyphony/backend_io_uring.c#L28-L47) is to make sure `O_NONBLOCK` is not set before attempting I/O operations on any fd. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
