When the allocation process is scheduled back and the mapped hw queue is changed, fake one extra wake up on previous queue for compensating wake up miss, so other allocations on the previous queue won't be starved. This patch fixes one request allocation hang issue, which can be triggered easily in case of very low nr_request. The race is as follows: 1) 2 hw queues, nr_requests are 2, and wake_batch is one 2) there are 3 waiters on hw queue 0 3) two in-flight requests in hw queue 0 are completed, and only two waiters of 3 are waken up because of wake_batch, but both the two waiters can be scheduled to another CPU and cause to switch to hw queue 1 4) then the 3rd waiter will wait for ever, since no in-flight request is in hw queue 0 any more. 5) this patch fixes it by the fake wakeup when waiter is scheduled to another hw queue Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Modified commit message to make it clearer, and make it apply on top of the 4.18 branch.

README
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.
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.
