If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(), and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and that will not get called until the .read() is finished. The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue. When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another thread closed its descriptor. This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the readers.
