Jan Kara 8cc58a6e2c rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle try two
commit 11c7aa0ddea8611007768d3e6b58d45dc60a19e1 upstream.

Commit 545fbd0775 ("rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle")
tried to fix a problem that a process could be sleeping in rq_qos_wait()
without anyone to wake it up. However the fix is not complete and the
following can still happen:

CPU1 (waiter1)		CPU2 (waiter2)		CPU3 (waker)
rq_qos_wait()		rq_qos_wait()
  acquire_inflight_cb() -> fails
			  acquire_inflight_cb() -> fails

						completes IOs, inflight
						  decreased
  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
			  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -> true as there are two sleepers
			  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -> true
  io_schedule()		  io_schedule()

Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

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.
