If we attempt to wake up a waiter, who is currently checking the seqno it will be in the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state and ttwu will report success. However, it is actually awake and functioning -- so delay reporting the actual wake up until it sleeps. This fixes some spurious claims of missed_breadcrumbs when running under heavy load; i.e. sufficient load to preempt away the newly woken waiter before they complete their checks. However, it does so at the cost of a rare false negative; where the waiter changes between the check and ttwu -- the only way to fix that would be to extend the reporting from ttwu where the check could be done atomically. v2: Defend against !CONFIG_SMP v3: Don't filter out calls to wake_up_process v4: Drop risky microoptimisation to skip wakeups Testcase: igt/drv_missed_irq # sanity check we do detect missed_breadcrumb() Testcase: igt/gem_concurrent_blit # for generating false positives References: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100007 Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171209124710.1606-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
