[ Upstream commit 1f5d783094cf28b4905f51cad846eb5d1db6673e ]
It is important that any new records are visible to preparing waiters before the waker checks if the wait queue is empty. Otherwise it is possible that:
- there are new records available - the waker sees an empty wait queue and does not wake - the preparing waiter sees no new records and begins to wait
This is exactly the problem that the function description of waitqueue_active() warns about.
Use wq_has_sleeper() instead of waitqueue_active() because it includes the necessary full memory barrier.
