[[ This patch depends on the previously posted:
[PATCH] SCHED: remove proliferation of wait_on_bit action functions.
This version is much smaller then the previous and better tested.
I'm hoping it too will go though the scheduler tree and the the
NFS changes won't cause too many conflicts...
]]
It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions to
implement a timeout.
While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting could
certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry forward the
remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.
The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions use
this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a little noisy
but will have no immediate effect.
This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to the
"struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.
It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which is
initialized to zero.
An action function can now implement a timeout with something like
static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
unsigned long waited;
if (key->private == 0) {
key->private = jiffies;
if (key->private == 0)
key->private -= 1;
}
waited = jiffies - key->private;
if (waited > 10 * HZ)
return -EAGAIN;
schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
return 0;
}
If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be easy
to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend "struct
wait_bit_key".
My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page() to
avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.
While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it will not
meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to the state of
the connection with the server, which could change. So I need to
use an 'action' interface.
