Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] Revert "vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait"
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 17:05:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458662752-2415-2-git-send-email-imbrenda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458662752-2415-1-git-send-email-imbrenda@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This reverts commit 5988818008257ca42010d6b43a3e0e48afec9898 ("vsock: Fix
blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait")

The commit reverted with this patch caused us to potentially miss wakeups.
Since the condition is not checked between the prepare_to_wait and the
schedule(), if a wakeup happens after the condition is checked but before
the sleep happens, we will miss it. ( A description of the problem can be
found here: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-6-sect-2 ).

By reverting the patch, the behaviour is still incorrect (since we
shouldn't sleep between the prepare_to_wait and the schedule) but at least
it will not miss wakeups.

The next patch in the series actually fixes the behaviour.
