There are two problems can lead to lost wakeup:
1) invalid wakeup on the wrong waitqueue:
For example, 2 * wake_batch tags are put, while only wake_batch threads
are woken:
__sbq_wake_up
atomic_cmpxchg -> reset wait_cnt
__sbq_wake_up -> decrease wait_cnt
...
__sbq_wake_up -> wait_cnt is decreased to 0 again
atomic_cmpxchg
sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase wake_index
wake_up_nr -> wake up and waitqueue might be empty
sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase again, one waitqueue is skipped
wake_up_nr -> invalid wake up because old wakequeue might be empty
To fix the problem, increasing 'wake_index' before resetting 'wait_cnt'.
2) 'wait_cnt' can be decreased while waitqueue is empty
As pointed out by Jan Kara, following race is possible:
CPU1 CPU2
__sbq_wake_up __sbq_wake_up
sbq_wake_ptr() sbq_wake_ptr() -> the same
wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return()
/* decreased to 0 */
sbq_index_atomic_inc()
/* move to next waitqueue */
atomic_set()
/* reset wait_cnt */
wake_up_nr()
/* wake up on the old waitqueue */
wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return()
/*
* decrease wait_cnt in the old
* waitqueue, while it can be
* empty.
*/
Fix the problem by waking up before updating 'wake_index' and
'wait_cnt'.
With this patch, noted that 'wait_cnt' is still decreased in the old
empty waitqueue, however, the wakeup is redirected to a active waitqueue,
and the extra decrement on the old empty waitqueue is not handled.

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.
