Linus Torvalds 63bd30f249 Tracing/ring-buffer fixes for 6.8 (to be applied in 6.9-rc):
- Do not update shortest_full in rb_watermark_hit() if the watermark
   is hit. The shortest_full field was being updated regardless if
   the task was going to wait or not. If the watermark is hit, then
   the task is not going to wait, so do not update the shortest_full
   field (used by the waker).
 
 - Update shortest_full field before setting the full_waiters_pending flag
 
   In the poll logic, the full_waiters_pending flag was being set
   before the shortest_full field was set. If the full_waiters_pending
   flag is set, writers will check the shortest_full field which has
   the least percentage of data that the ring buffer needs to be
   filled before waking up. The writer will check shortest_full if
   full_waiters_pending is set, and if the ring buffer percentage filled
   is greater than shortest full, then it will call the irq_work to
   wake up the waiters.
 
   The problem was that the poll logic set the full_waiters_pending flag
   before updating shortest_full, which when zero will always trigger
   the writer to call the irq_work to wake up the waiters. The irq_work
   will reset the shortest_full field back to zero as the woken waiters
   is suppose to reset it.
 
 - There's some optimized logic in the rb_watermark_hit() that is used
   in ring_buffer_wait(). Use that helper function in the poll logic
   as well.
 
 - Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to use wait_event_interruptible()
 
   The logic to wake up pending readers when the file descriptor is
   closed is racy. Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to allow callers
   to pass in conditions besides the ring buffer having enough data
   in it by using wait_event_interruptible().
 
 - Update the tracing_wait_on_pipe() to call ring_buffer_wait() with
   its own conditions to exit the wait loop.

 - Do not update shortest_full in rb_watermark_hit() if the watermark is
   hit. The shortest_full field was being updated regardless if the task
   was going to wait or not. If the watermark is hit, then the task is
   not going to wait, so do not update the shortest_full field (used by

 - Update shortest_full field before setting the full_waiters_pending
   flag

   In the poll logic, the full_waiters_pending flag was being set before
   the shortest_full field was set. If the full_waiters_pending flag is
   set, writers will check the shortest_full field which has the least
   percentage of data that the ring buffer needs to be filled before
   waking up. The writer will check shortest_full if
   full_waiters_pending is set, and if the ring buffer percentage filled
   is greater than shortest full, then it will call the irq_work to wake
   up the waiters.

   The problem was that the poll logic set the full_waiters_pending flag
   before updating shortest_full, which when zero will always trigger
   the writer to call the irq_work to wake up the waiters. The irq_work
   will reset the shortest_full field back to zero as the woken waiters
