[ Upstream commit 60b801999c48b6c1dd04e653a38e2e613664264e ] After an event is sent, we try to copy it into the user buffer of the first waiter in drm_read() and if the user buffer doesn't have enough room we put it back onto the list. However, we didn't wake up any subsequent waiter, so that event may sit on the list until either a new vblank event is sent or a new waiter appears. Rare, but in the worst case may lead to a stuck process.
