Nah this was a leftover, I was just removing it in v3. Thanks. ----8<--------------------------------------------------------------- [PATCH v3] sched/wake_q: Reduce reference counting for special users Some users, specifically futexes and rwsems, required fixes that allowed the callers to be safe when wakeups occur before they are expected by wake_up_q(). Such scenarios also play games and rely on reference counting, and until now were pivoting on wake_q doing it. With the wake_q_add() call being moved down, this can no longer be the case. As such we end up with a a double task refcounting overhead; and these callers care enough about this (being rather core-ish). This patch introduces a wake_q_add_safe() call that serves for callers that have already done refcounting and therefore the task is 'safe' from wake_q point of view (int that it requires reference throughout the entire queue/>wakeup cycle). In the one case it has internal reference counting, in the other case it consumes the reference counting.
