+/**
+ * sk_has_sleeper - check if there are any waiting processes
+ * @sk: socket
+ *
+ * Returns true if socket has waiting processes
+ *
+ * The purpose of the sk_has_sleeper and sock_poll_wait is to wrap the memory
+ * barrier call. They were added due to the race found within the tcp code.
+ *
+ * Consider following tcp code paths:
+ *
+ * CPU1 CPU2
+ *
+ * sys_select receive packet
+ * ... ...
+ * __add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
+ * ... ...
+ * tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
+ * ... {
+ * schedule ...
+ * if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
+ * wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
+ * ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * The race for tcp fires when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay
+ * in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1
+ * could then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more
+ * data on the socket.
+ *
+ * The sk_has_sleeper is always called right after a call to read_lock, so we
+ * can use smp_mb__after_lock barrier.
