From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 23:15:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/wait: Fix add_wait_queue() behavioral change MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The following cleanup commit: 50816c48997a ("sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue entries") ... unintentionally changed the behavior of add_wait_queue() from inserting the wait entry at the head of the wait queue to the tail of the wait queue. Beyond a negative performance impact this change in behavior theoretically also breaks wait queues which mix exclusive and non-exclusive waiters, as non-exclusive waiters will not be woken up if they are queued behind enough exclusive waiters.
