I disagree with this analysis.  I am only talking about the type of
struct fib.event_wait which very probably should be a struct completion
or wait_queue_head_t.

If and why you as author and submitter of the short term fix are also
interested in a real long term fix or not is _entirely_ up to you, or

other people could do.  :-)
