    locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable() · d4799608
    Michal Hocko authored
    Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable().
    
    This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call
    which can be interrupted by SIGKILL.  This patch doesn't provide
    down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary
    pieces before.
    
    rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the
    write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to
    __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid
    semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR).
    
    rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for
    the lock and be killable.
    
    For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated
    in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't
    need new exports just visible __down_write_killable().
    
    Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are
    supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and
    use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.
