New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added. They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the wait queue's lock to be held. Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported as to pair it with the above macros. The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock to protect a data structure. This may be advantageous if the structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway. In particular, with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait for a condition: spin_lock(&data.lock); ... for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) { spin_unlock(&data.lock); ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition)); spin_lock(&data.lock); } ... spin_unlock(&data.lock); This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could be avoided. To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code similar to the following should be used: /* Waiting */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); /* Waiting exclusively */ spin_lock(&data.whq.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock); /* Waking up */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... wake_up_locked(&data.wqh); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be used (*_locked_irq()).
