From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3b19d614b61b93a131f463817e08219c9ce1fee3 upstream. The logic to know when the shortest waiters on the ring buffer should be woken up or not has uses a less than instead of a greater than compare, which causes the shortest_full to actually be the longest.
