If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso commit 1329ce6fbbe4536592dfcfc8d64d61bfeb598fe6 upstream. Make use of wake-queues and enable the wakeup to occur after releasing the wait_lock. This is similar to what we do with rtmutex top waiter, slightly shortening the critical region and allow other waiters to acquire the wait_lock sooner. In low contention cases it can also help the recently woken waiter to find the wait_lock available (fastpath) when it continues execution.
