[ Upstream commit b3594573681b53316ec0365332681a30463edfd6 ]
A task can wait on a ring buffer for when it fills up to a specific watermark. The writer will check the minimum watermark that waiters are waiting for and if the ring buffer is past that, it will wake up all the waiters.
The waiters are in a wait loop, and will first check if a signal is pending and then check if the ring buffer is at the desired level where it should break out of the loop.
If a file that uses a ring buffer closes, and there's threads waiting on the ring buffer, it needs to wake up those threads. To do this, a "wait_index" was used.
Before entering the wait loop, the waiter will read the wait_index. On wakeup, it will check if the wait_index is different than when it entered the loop, and will exit the loop if it is. The waker will only need to update the wait_index before waking up the waiters.
This had a couple of bugs. One trivial one and one broken by design.
The trivial bug was that the waiter checked the wait_index after the schedule() call. It had to be checked between the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule() which it was not.
The main bug is that the first check to set the default wait_index will always be outside the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule(). That's because the ring_buffer_wait() doesn't have enough context to know if it should break out of the loop.
The loop itself is not needed, because all the callers to the ring_buffer_wait() also has their own loop, as the callers have a better sense of what the context is to decide whether to break out of the loop or not.
Just have the ring_buffer_wait() block once, and if it gets woken up, exit the function and let the callers decide what to do next.
