sched/completion: Add lock-free checking of the blocking case
The "thread would block" case can be checked without grabbing ->wait.lock. [ If the check does not return early then grab the lock and recheck. A memory barrier is not needed as complete() and complete_all() imply a barrier. The ACCESS_ONCE() is needed for calls in a loop that, if inlined, could optimize out the re-fetching of x->done. ] Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <der.herr@hofr.at> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1422013307-13200-1-git-send-email-der.herr@hofr.at Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
