What did you do?

While using GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1 if you send a sigurg sig to a thread, the scheduler will preempt the running G.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"runtime"
	"time"
	"golang.org/x/sys/unix"
)

func main() {
	runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1)
	go func() {
		fmt.Printf("tid %d\n", unix.Gettid())
		for {
		}
	}()
	time.Sleep(time.Second)
	fmt.Println("Done!")
}

then run it with asyncpreemptoff

GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1 go run main.go
tid 2782

now use the tid to send the sig

kill -s sigurg 2782

What did you expect to see?

Since we use asyncpreemptoff=1 i expect the app shouldn't be finished!

What did you see instead?

the program prints Done!

We could do let SIGURG not preempt if asyncpreemptoff is set.

I wonder what is the reason behind this. Are you running a program that you don't want to be preempted and it also receives external SIGURGs?

I don't have specific use case, i was checking how preemption is implemented and find this problem, however i think if somebody wants to use asyncpreemptoff flag, he/she wants to prevent preemption for some specific reason, but this is only my assumption.

Change https://golang.org/cl/240121 mentions this issue: runtime: don't preempt if preemption is disabled

Backport candidate?

Also the CL didn't include a test to verify that preemption is disabled...

I don't think this needs backport. As @koushki noted, it doesn't seem to affect any real program (for now).

And re the lack of a test for preemption disabled?
