sched/wait, RCU: Introduce rcuwait machinery rcuwait provides support for (single) RCU-safe task wait/wake functionality, with the caveat that it must not be called after exit_notify(), such that we avoid racing with rcu delayed_put_task_struct callbacks, task_struct being rcu unaware in this context -- for which we similarly have task_rcu_dereference() magic, but with different return semantics, which can conflict with the wakeup side. The interfaces are quite straightforward: rcuwait_wait_event() rcuwait_wake_up() More details are in the comments, but it's perhaps worth mentioning at least, that users must provide proper serialization when waiting on a condition, and avoid corrupting a concurrent waiter. Also care must be taken between the task and the condition for when calling the wakeup -- we cannot miss wakeups. When porting users, this is for example, a given when using waitqueues in that everything is done under the q->lock. As such, it can remove sources of non preemptable unbounded work for realtime.

/*
* rcuwait provides a way of blocking and waking up a single
* task in an rcu-safe manner; where it is forbidden to use
* after exit_notify(). task_struct is not properly rcu protected,
* unless dealing with rcu-aware lists, ie: find_task_by_*().
*
* Alternatively we have task_rcu_dereference(), but the return
* semantics have different implications which would break the
* wakeup side. The only time @task is non-nil is when a user is
* blocked (or checking if it needs to) on a condition, and reset
* as soon as we know that the condition has succeeded and are
* awoken.
