[ Upstream commit 761d9473e27f0c8782895013a3e7b52a37c8bcfc ] The rb_watermark_hit() checks if the amount of data in the ring buffer is above the percentage level passed in by the "full" variable. If it is, it returns true. But it also sets the "shortest_full" field of the cpu_buffer that informs writers that it needs to call the irq_work if the amount of data on the ring buffer is above the requested amount. The rb_watermark_hit() always sets the shortest_full even if the amount in the ring buffer is what it wants. As it is not going to wait, because it has what it wants, there's no reason to set shortest_full.

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.
