commit bd0687c18e635b63233dc87f38058cd728802ab4 upstream.
Do not sleep in poll() when the need_wakeup flag is set. When this
flag is set, the application needs to explicitly wake up the driver
with a syscall (poll, recvmsg, sendmsg, etc.) to guarantee that Rx
and/or Tx processing will be processed promptly. But the current code
in poll(), sleeps first then wakes up the driver. This means that no
driver processing will occur (baring any interrupts) until the timeout
has expired.
Fix this by checking the need_wakeup flag first and if set, wake the
driver and return to the application. Only if need_wakeup is not set
should the process sleep if there is a timeout set in the poll() call.

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.
