[PATCH 00/11] sched/wait: Replace wait_on_atomic_t() with wait_var_event()

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

I never really liked the whole wait_on_atomic_t() because of the hard-coded
type and condition. And when Dan proposed to add 50+ lines of duplication to
implement wait_on_atomic_one() I figured that was it.

Instead implement wait_var_event(), which at the fundamental level is much the
same hashed-waitqueue as wait_on_atomic_t() is, but it doesn't care about the
type or condition.

It is further modelled on the existing wait_event() API and is otherwise
consistent with that.

The existing:

  wait_for_atomic_t(&my_atomic, wait_atomic_t, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
  wake_up_atomic_t(&my_atomic);

can be replaced with:

  wait_var_event(&my_atomic, !atomic_read(&my_atomic));
  wake_up_var(&my_atomic);

And Dan can do what he needs done using:

  wait_var_event(&my_atomic, atomic_read(&my_atomic) == 1);
