[[ get_maintainer.pl suggested 61 email address for this patch.
   I've trimmed that list somewhat.  Hope I didn't miss anyone

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function
to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.


 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous
as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
As any error return is never checked I assumed that 'uninterruptible'
was correct.

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which
needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field
of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will
not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So the
distinction will still be visible, only with different function names
(gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case).

Still puzzled by the 16 bit mask there ;-)

Bug.  It should be uninterruptible in both places.

Yay!  About time!  This is something I've wanted to do for ages, but never
quite got around to.

this patch fails to build on x86-32 allyesconfigs.

Could we keep the old names for a while, and remove them in the next 
cycle or so?

Thanks,

Could you share the build errors?

I don't see how changing the names later rather than now will reduce the
chance of errors... maybe I'm missing something.

Well, it would reduce build errors?

Thanks.

It looks like this is a wait_on_bit usage that was added after I created the
patch.

How about you drop my patch for now, we wait for -rc1 to come out, then I
submit a new version against -rc1 and we get that into -rc2.
That should minimise such conflicts.

Does that work for you?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Sure, that sounds like a good approach, if Linus doesn't object.

Hi Ingo,
 I re-posted these patches based on -rc2 (I missed -rc1, it was too fast) and
 have not heard anything over a week later.  Did I misunderstand?  Did you
 want me to send them direct to Linus?
 Or are you on a summer break and I should just be patient?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
