From e708d7ad80737496870fd0b6794704d063fb0cdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 15:31:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Do poll_wait() before checking condition in perf_poll() One should first enqueue to the waitqueue and then check for the condition. If the condition gets true after mutex_unlock() but before poll_wait() then we lose it and would have wait for another wakeup. This has been like this since v2.6.31-rc1 commit c7138f37f9 ("perf_counter: fix perf_poll()"). Before that it was slightly worse. I guess we get enough wakeups so if we miss here one it doesn't really matter. It is still a bad example.
