Since this swake_up() --> swake_up_all() reportedly *fixed* the one wake up issue it would seem this does queue [0]. That said, I don't see any simple tests tools/testing/selftests/swait but then again we don't have test for regular waits either... [0] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195477I should also note that the swake_up_all() should have only helped in cases where 3 cards were used, as if only 2 were used that should have been covered by just the swake_up(). Unless of course I hear otherwise by the reporter, Nicolas or from Jakub.I was hitting this with 2 cards.Thanks! Thing is I'm not convinced the issue with 2 cards was the swake_up() Vs swake_up_all() in this case though. Let's recall also the missing wake up on errors! And the fact that netronome has optional firmware, which naturally can fail. So could the issue with 2 cards instead of the miss of a wake up on error due to batched requests ? If so then that still would not put blame on the swake_up()!
Sorry, that was during manual tests. I had the driver request the firmware with _nowait() without an uevent, and then after I manually wrote -1 to loading only one would get woken up.
