As a replacement for the wait_on_atomic_t() API provide the wait_var_event() API. The wait_var_event() API is based on the very same hashed-waitqueue idea, but doesn't care about the type (atomic_t) or the specific condition (atomic_read() == 0). IOW. it's much more widely applicable/flexible. It shares all the benefits/disadvantages of a hashed-waitqueue approach with the existing wait_on_atomic_t/wait_on_bit() APIs. The API is modeled after the existing wait_event() API, but instead of taking a wait_queue_head, it takes an address. This addresses is hashed to obtain a wait_queue_head from the bit_wait_table. Similar to the wait_event() API, it takes a condition expression as second argument and will wait until this expression becomes true. The following are (mostly) identical replacements: wait_on_atomic_t(&my_atomic, atomic_t_wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); wake_up_atomic_t(&my_atomic); wait_var_event(&my_atomic, !atomic_read(&my_atomic)); wake_up_var(&my_atomic); The only difference is that wake_up_var() is an unconditional wakeup and doesn't check the previously hard-coded (atomic_read() == 0) condition here. This is of little concequence, since most callers are already conditional on atomic_dec_and_test() and the ones that are not, are trivial to make so.
