Oh my.
Wow.
{sigh}
ick.
My eyes hurt.
And your cpu load just went crazy.
You can now handle all of the nasty emails from sysadmins asking why
their systems look like their load is high for no good reason.
Not to mention all of the other issues here.
My statement about not inventing new lock types has now been proven
true.
The fact that this would even be a chunk of code that was proposed to be
merged makes me weep.
You owe me a bottle of whatever you are drinking if you expect me to
continue to review these patch submissions.
I'm stopping here in the series, please rework this whole thing in a
major way.

My bad, should use schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of
msleep(1) here to avoid busy waiting.

Um, no, that's not my main point here at all.
My main point is this type of loop is the wrong thing to do in the first
place.
Please redo this whole thing, as explained in my first email in this
thread.
