From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The completion usage in this driver is interesting: - it uses a magic complete function which according to the comment was implemented by invoking complete() four times in a row because complete_all() was not exported at that time. - it uses an open coded wait/poll which checks completion:done. Only one wait side (device removal) uses the regular wait_for_completion() interface. The rationale behind this is to prevent that wait_for_completion() consumes completion::done which would prevent that all waiters are woken. This is not necessary with complete_all() as that sets completion::done to UINT_MAX which is left unmodified by the woken waiters. Replace the magic complete function with complete_all() and convert the open coded wait/poll to regular completion interfaces. This changes the wait to exclusive wait mode. But that does not make any difference because the wakers use complete_all() which ignores the exclusive mode.
