what happen when you call wake_up_interruptible and there are no task waiting on that wait queue right then.

But say after some time a task comes along and start waiting (after the wake_up_interruptible is called).
Would that task be not wait at all because there was a pending wake up

It will be waiting for another wake up.

What i'm looking for is a mechanism where by any old wake if not acted upon are lost.

Semahore may be a good option.
