Thinking a bit more about it your code would just need a small tweak like:
wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return(&ws->wait_cnt);
/*
* Concurrent callers should call this function again
* to wakeup a new batch on a different 'ws'.
*/
if (wait_cnt < 0 || !waitqueue_active(&ws->wait)) {
sbq_update_wake_index(sbq, wake_index);
return true;
}
if (wait_cnt > 0)
return false;
sbq_update_wake_index(sbq, wake_index);
wake_batch = READ_ONCE(sbq->wake_batch);
wake_up_nr(&ws->wait, wake_batch);
/*
* Pairs with the memory barrier in sbitmap_queue_resize() to
* ensure that we see the batch size update before the wait
* count is reset.
*
* Also pairs with the implicit barrier between decrementing
* wait_cnt and checking for waitqueue_active() to make sure
* waitqueue_active() sees results of the wakeup if
* atomic_dec_return() has seen results of the atomic_set.
*/
smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_set(&ws->wait_cnt, wake_batch);
