Hi, As Peter pointed out the conversion to swait in completion is not so simple. For the time being I drop it and look at them later again. The main reason is that complete_all() can be called from hard-irq/atomic context and we can't use swake_up_all() because that function wants to run with IRQs enabled. If we can ensure that all callers of complete_all() are running under normal context for -rt. In this version I tried to weed out all obvious typos for the different platforms which I missed in v1. These patches are against tip/master e6f195fd5c80214c5a4f139ee28798e66e20aa8f also available as git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux.git tip-swait cheers, daniel [I got the numbering wrong in v1, so instead 'PATCH v1' you find it as 'PATCH v0' series] changes since v1 (PATCH v0) - rebased and fixed some typos found by cross building for S390, ARM and powerpc. For some unknown reason didn't catch them last time. - dropped completion patches because it is not clear yet how to handle complete_all() calls hard-irq/atomic contexts and swake_up_all. changes since v0 (RFC v0) - promoted the series to PATCH state instead of RFC - fixed a few fallouts with build all and some cross compilers such ARM, PowerPC, S390. - Added the simple waitqueue transformation for KVM from -rt including some numbers requested by Paolo. - Added a commit message to PeterZ's patch. Hope he likes it. v1: http://lwn.net/Articles/656942/ v0: http://lwn.net/Articles/653586/ Cc: "Paul E.
