Michal Nazarewicz 22c43c81a5 wait_event_interruptible_locked() interface
New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added.
They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the
wait queue's lock to be held.  Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported
as to pair it with the above macros.

The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock
to  protect a data structure.  This may be advantageous if the
structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway.  In particular,
with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait
for a condition:

spin_lock(&data.lock);
...
for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) {
	spin_unlock(&data.lock);
	ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition));
	spin_lock(&data.lock);
}
...
spin_unlock(&data.lock);

This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait
queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could
be avoided.

To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code
similar to the following should be used:

/* Waiting */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

/* Waiting exclusively */
spin_lock(&data.whq.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock);

/* Waking up */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
wake_up_locked(&data.wqh);
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be
used (*_locked_irq()).
