commitc6b9d9a330upstream. The following cleanup commit:50816c4899("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.

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.
