Which is double buggy because:
  1) it doesn't loop
  2) it sets TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE _after_ testing for the sleep event.

OK, actually had a look at this one; it might be ok.

The spinlock might fully serialize the state so no fails, and the entire
function is called in a loop. Still seriously obtuse code.

Jens, would something like the below work for you?

Yes, from a cursory look, that seems fine to me. Though I will hold the fact that you label my code as 'seriously obtuse' against you. Some day.

I can pull this in for testing for 3.20. Mind sending a properly formatted patch (signed off, commit message, all that stuff)?
