From cbbce82209490df8b68da9aec0d642451fe0a668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 13:55:19 +1000 Subject: SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces. In commit c1221321b7c25b53204447cff9949a6d5a7ddddc sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering. Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused "timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later. So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout", and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces: wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use, and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general example. Others can be added as needed.
