    Subject[PATCH 4.14 008/195] sched/wait: Fix add_wait_queue() behavioral change
    Date
    4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

    commit c6b9d9a33029014446bd9ed84c1688f6d3d4eab9 upstream.

    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.
