[Bug 1528921] Re: rsync hangs on select(5, [], [4], [], {60, 0}

[Rolf Leggewie]

What's the purpose of setting to incomplete when there is no question to
be completed by the OP?  To hopefully expire it and close another ticket
without fixing the bug?  What a silly thing.

Title:
  rsync hangs on select(5, [], [4], [], {60, 0}

Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the last few months my home directory backup stopped completing.
  I've been able to reproduce the problem on a single subdirectory
  although I had to add the --debug=all flag to reproduce it on that
  smaller directory.  Specifically, this command never completes:

  rsync --debug=all -avz /tmp/html2 /tmp/rsynctest/

  The html2 directory is a copy of
  gnuradio-3.7.8.1/build/docs/doxygen/html .

  When I strace the command, I see this:
  write(1, "sender finished /tmp/html2/atsc_"..., 58sender finished /tmp/html2/atsc__interleaver_8h__incl.md5
  ) = 58
  write(1, "send_files(338, /tmp/html2/atsc_"..., 59send_files(338, /tmp/html2/atsc__interleaver_8h__incl.png)
  ) = 59
  open("html2/atsc__interleaver_8h__incl.png", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
  fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=264657, ...}) = 0
  write(1, "html2/atsc__interleaver_8h__incl"..., 37html2/atsc__interleaver_8h__incl.png
  ) = 37
  read(3, "\211PNG\r\n\32\n\0\0\0\rIHDR\0\0\n\253\0\0\2\233\10\6\0\0\0h\242\""..., 262144) = 262144
  select(6, [5], [4], [5], {60, 0})       = 2 (in [5], out [4], left {59, 999996})
  read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\240\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\240\0\0\0"..., 95) = 95
  write(4, "r\311\0\7\177\377\232\237\264\272e\300\300\240\316\264&\314\301\252*\37\256y\225g\373^\315j\370\350"..., 51574) = 51574
  select(5, [], [4], [], {60, 0})         = 1 (out [4], left {59, 999997})
  write(4, "\7\320\0\7\177\377\234|\7X\223Y\273\255c\27\25f\306\212\202\214#E\272\212t\1\225A\fU"..., 53259) = 53259
  select(5, [], [4], [], {60, 0}

  The select command times out over and over.  I get the same behavior
  when trying to back up my entire home directory but I don't need the
  --debug=all flag in that case.
