Steven Rostedt (Google) b70f293824 ring-buffer: Make wake once of ring_buffer_wait() more robust
The default behavior of ring_buffer_wait() when passed a NULL "cond"
parameter is to exit the function the first time it is woken up. The
current implementation uses a counter that starts at zero and when it is
greater than one it exits the wait_event_interruptible().

But this relies on the internal working of wait_event_interruptible() as
that code basically has:

  if (cond)
    return;
  prepare_to_wait();
  if (!cond)
    schedule();
  finish_wait();

That is, cond is called twice before it sleeps. The default cond of
ring_buffer_wait() needs to account for that and wait for its counter to
increment twice before exiting.

Instead, use the seq/atomic_inc logic that is used by the tracing code
that calls this function. Add an atomic_t seq to rb_irq_work and when cond
is NULL, have the default callback take a descriptor as its data that
holds the rbwork and the value of the seq when it started.

The wakeups will now increment the rbwork->seq and the cond callback will
simply check if that number is different, and no longer have to rely on
the implementation of wait_event_interruptible().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
