I believe this introduces a critical bug.

cl->list is used to link together the llists for both things waiting,
and for things that are being woken.

If a closure that is woken decides to wait again, it will corrupt the
llist that __closure_wake_up is using.

The previous iteration structure gets the next element of the list
before waking and is therefore safe.
Hi Mike,

Good catch! I see llist_del_all() but forget cl->list can be modified in
closure_wait(). Yes there is potential chance to mislead
llist_for_each_entry() to iterate wrong list.
llist_for_each_entry_safe() should be used here. I will send a fix to
Jens, hope to catch up 4.14 still.
I see. You have a plan to do it. Please fix it.
Oh, I just see this email, when I replied your last one.
Sure, let me fix my fault.
