[PATCH 1/2] sched/wait: abort_exclusive_wait() should pass TASK_NORMAL to wake_up()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Fri Aug 26 2016 - 08:54:37 EST


Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another
exclusive waiter.

If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters,
abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter.

The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only
because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have
lock_page_interruptible() yet.

Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait().
Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non-
interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine. And in fact I think
that abort_exclusive_wait() must die, see the next change.
