From 064b9b2bb3544707171662f548677259c3d6aa7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Watanabe Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2025 02:12:00 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] sd-event: drop inotify event from buffer when no event source is triggered Even when we receive an inotify event, there is no relevant event source exists. In that case, we need to drop the event from the buffer, otherwise we cannot escape from the loop. Fixes #38265. --- src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c b/src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c index 8ed10c9f8e..869747e929 100644 --- a/src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c +++ b/src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c @@ -3955,9 +3955,12 @@ static int event_inotify_data_process(sd_event *e, InotifyData *d) { } } - /* Something pending now?
