Ahh, I see, wake_up_*() functions do just what they say, they skip
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks.

Now it makes sense.

Andrew could you a take this patch as well please.

In CRIU, we have the autofs test:
https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu/blob/master/test/zdtm/static/autofs.c

We run CRIU tests on the linux-next kernels and a few days ago this test
started to fail, actually it hangs up.

I found that wake_up_interruptible() doesn't wake up a thread, which is
waiting.

try_to_wake_up() has the argument "state", it is the mask of task states
that can be woken.

For wake_up_interruptible(), state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
For wake_up(). state is TASK_NORMAL (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)

If we use wait_event_killable(), the task sleeps in the TASK_KILLABLE
state, so wake_up_interruptible() isn't suitable in this case.

#define TASK_KILLABLE   (TASK_WAKEKILL | TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)

I checked that our test passes with this patch. I mean that we had a
real problem and we checked that it is fixed by this patch.

Thanks,
Andrei

Ok, so that 1 is the number of exclusive waiters.
So what is the difference between the two wake_up calls in this case?

Why do you believe wake_up() is needed rather than wake_up_interruptible()?

Now that I'm thinking about the wake up I'm wondering if this is in fact
what's needed. Rather, I think maybe wake_up_all() is probably the only
one that will actually do what's needed.

There's an individual wait queue for each mount, there can be multiple
waiters for a mount, they all should be woken up when the daemon signals
mount completion.
