I think we can do the same thing, just wrapping the waitqueue in a
structure with a count in it, on the stack. Got some flight time
coming up later today, let me try and cook up a patch.
Totally untested, and sent out 5 min before departure... But something
like this.
Hmm, reminds me my first version. Basically that's the same thing but
with macroses inlined. I wanted to make it reusable and self-contained,
though.
If you don't think it could be useful in other places, sure, we could do
something like that. Is that so?
I totally agree it could be useful in other places. Maybe formalized and
used with wake_up_nr() instead of adding a new primitive? Haven't looked
into that, I may be talking nonsense.
@nr there is about number of tasks to wake up. AFAIK doesn't solve the
problem.
Ah right, embarassingly I'm actually the one that added that
functionality ages ago...
