2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Knispel commit b2add73dbf93fd50f00564d7abc3e2b9aa9dd20c upstream. The triggered field of struct poll_wqueues introduced in commit 5f820f648c92a5ecc771a96b3c29aa6e90013bba ("poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep"). It was first set to 1 in pollwake() (now __pollwake() ), tested and later set to 0 in poll_schedule_timeout(), but not initialized before. As a result when the process needs to sleep, triggered was likely to be non-zero even if pollwake() is not called before the first poll_schedule_timeout(), meaning schedule_hrtimeout_range() would not be called and an extra loop calling all ->poll() would be done. This patch initialize triggered to 0 in poll_initwait() so the ->poll() are not called twice before the process goes to sleep when it needs to.
