	Commit de30ec47302c "Remove unnecessary ->wait.lock serialization when reading completion state" was not correct, without lock/unlock the code like stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() while (!completion_done()) cpu_relax(); can return before complete() finishes its spin_unlock() which writes to this memory. And spin_unlock_wait(). While at it, change try_wait_for_completion() to use READ_ONCE(). Reported-by: Paul E.

2015-02-04	sched/completion: Add lock-free checking of the blocking case	Nicholas Mc Guire	1	-0/+9
	The "thread would block" case can be checked without grabbing ->wait.lock. [ If the check does not return early then grab the lock and recheck. A memory barrier is not needed as complete() and complete_all() imply a barrier. The ACCESS_ONCE() is needed for calls in a loop that, if inlined, could optimize out the re-fetching of x->done. ] Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <der.herr@hofr.at> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1422013307-13200-1-git-send-email-der.herr@hofr.at Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2014-11-16	sched/completion: Document when to use wait_for_completion_io_*()	Wolfram Sang	1	-2/+3
	As discussed in [1], accounting IO is meant for blkio only. Document that so driver authors won't use them for device io.

2013-11-06	sched: Move completion code from core.c to completion.c	Peter Zijlstra	1	-0/+299
	Completions already have their own header file: linux/completion.h Move the implementation out of kernel/sched/core.c and into its own file: kernel/sched/completion.c.
