commit 42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b upstream. Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file) is hit. That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available, but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way select()s and poll()s are supposed to work. Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and splice does on the ring buffer.

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.
