This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full to the 5.10-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: ring-buffer-fix-resetting-of-shortest_full.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e4410a5b3b89fad247246464c0aa17559f8e52b3 Author: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 8 15:24:04 2024 -0500 ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full [ Upstream commit 68282dd930ea38b068ce2c109d12405f40df3f93 ] The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up. When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to 100% full buffer. As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the waiter with the smallest percentage. The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace). This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full before sleeping. Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work structures that are used in other places.
