commit 1e0cb399c7653462d9dadf8ab9425337c355d358 upstream. It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead, the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84ff by having the polling code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified "buffer percent" had. The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again. Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this definitely is not the desired effect. To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the "shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the buffer is not as full as it expects to be. Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the 11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.
