Subject: [PATCH 2/4] swait: export the symbols __prepare_to_swait and __finish_swait
Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 15:16:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180530131820.826510529@debian.vm> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: export-__finish_swait-__prepare_to_swait.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1265 bytes --]
In order to reduce locking overhead, I use the spinlock in
swait_queue_head to protect not only the wait queue, but also the list of
events. Consequently, I need to use unlocked functions __prepare_to_swait
and __finish_swait. These functions are declared in the file
include/linux/swait.h, but they are not exported, and so they are not
useable from kernel modules.
