[PATCH] sbitmap: Avoid leaving waitqueue in invalid state in __sbq_wake_up()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When __sbq_wake_up() decrements wait_cnt to 0 but races with someone
else waking the waiter on the waitqueue (so the waitqueue becomes
empty), it exits without reseting wait_cnt to wake_batch number. Once
wait_cnt is 0, nobody will ever reset the wait_cnt or wake the new
waiters resulting in possible deadlocks or busyloops. Fix the problem by
making sure we reset wait_cnt even if we didn't wake up anybody in the
end.
