[PATCH v2 0/7] swait: Introduce and use swq_has_sleeper()

[Davidlohr Bueso]

Changes from v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/5/622
 - Added patch 7 (mips)
 - Small comment fixlets in patch 1.

Hi,

Recently[1] Nick mentioned that a lot of swait_active() callers look fishy.
This is because it inherited bad habits from regular waitqueues. Other than rcu,
kvm is one of the main callers, which I audited.

The following patches fix and/or justify (in baby steps) some of the
callers. The main exception is s390, which I didn't follow how ->valid_wakeup
can get hoisted as kvm_vcpu_block does not use that in the wait loop.

Thanks!

  kvm: Serialize wq active checks in kvm_vcpu_wake_up()
  kvm,powerpc: Serialize wq active checks in ops->vcpu_kick
  kvm,mips: Fix potential swait_active() races
