[PATCH 4/5] rust: sync: convert CondVar and PollCondVar to use WaitQueue
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 18:37:13 EST
CondVar currently wraps a raw wait_queue_head directly. Now that
WaitQueue provides the same primitive, convert CondVar to use it
instead. This removes duplicate init, pinning, Send/Sync, and wake-up
code from CondVar.
Keep the wait logic in CondVar since it needs to release and reacquire a
lock guard around the sleep, which WaitQueue's condition-based
wait_event() methods do not handle. Use wait_once_exclusive() to perform
a single prepare_to_wait_exclusive / finish_wait cycle with a
caller-provided schedule function to implement the lock-aware sleep.
Adapt PollCondVar accordingly.
