Thanks. Did you test this patch, or do you mean the previous one?

I am asking because I am not sure this change is enough, note the
"We can make child_wait_callback() more clever later" in the changelog.

__wake_up_parent() passes key = p, but we can pass more info and do
additional checks in child_wait_callback().
