It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions to
implement a timeout.
While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting could
certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry forward the
remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.
The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions use
this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a little noisy
but will have no immediate effect.
This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to the
"struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.
It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which is
initialized to zero.
An action function can now implement a timeout with something like
static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
unsigned long waited;
if (key->private == 0) {
key->private = jiffies;
if (key->private == 0)
key->private -= 1;
}
waited = jiffies - key->private;
if (waited > 10 * HZ)
return -EAGAIN;
schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
return 0;
}
If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be easy
to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend "struct
wait_bit_key".
My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page() to
avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.
While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it will not
meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to the state of
the connection with the server, which could change. So I need to
use an 'action' interface.
