This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-ring-buffer-have-polling-block-on-watermark.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 23:14:27 -0400 Subject: tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b upstream. Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file) is hit. That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available, but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way select()s and poll()s are supposed to work. Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and splice does on the ring buffer.
