[patch V3 16/20] completion: Use simple wait queues

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>

completion uses a wait_queue_head_t to enqueue waiters.

wait_queue_head_t contains a spinlock_t to protect the list of waiters
which excludes it from being used in truly atomic context on a PREEMPT_RT
enabled kernel.

The spinlock in the wait queue head cannot be replaced by a raw_spinlock
because:

  - wait queues can have custom wakeup callbacks, which acquire other
    spinlock_t locks and have potentially long execution times

  - wake_up() walks an unbounded number of list entries during the wake up
    and may wake an unbounded number of waiters.

For simplicity and performance reasons complete() should be usable on
PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels.

completions do not use custom wakeup callbacks and are usually single
waiter, except for a few corner cases.

Replace the wait queue in the completion with a simple wait queue (swait),
which uses a raw_spinlock_t for protecting the waiter list and therefore is
safe to use inside truly atomic regions on PREEMPT_RT.

There is no semantical or functional change:

  - completions use the exclusive wait mode which is what swait provides

  - complete() wakes one exclusive waiter

  - complete_all() wakes all waiters while holding the lock which protects
    the wait queue against newly incoming waiters. The conversion to swait
    preserves this behaviour.

complete_all() might cause unbound latencies with a large number of waiters
being woken at once, but most complete_all() usage sites are either in
testing or initialization code or have only a really small number of
concurrent waiters which for now does not cause a latency problem. Keep it
simple for now.

The fixup of the warning check in the USB gadget driver is just a straight
forward conversion of the lockless waiter check from one waitqueue type to
the other.
