      sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h> · bd0f9b35
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
      nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
      <linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
      from <linux/sched/signal.h>.
      
      That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
      semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates
      from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).
      
      It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
      generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
      __wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
      includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
      actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
      function is the right thing to do.
      
      Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
      versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
      set of helper functions.
      
      We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
      subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
      the annoying header dependency.
