[patch 02/71] poll/select: initialize triggered field of struct poll_wqueues

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Guillaume Knispel <gknispel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
