Christoph Hellwig 58fc73d10f tcm_fc: Work queue based approach instead of managing own thread and event based mechanism ... Problem: Changed from wake_up_interruptible -> wake_up_process and wait_event_interruptible-> schedule_timeout_interruptible broke the FCoE target. Earlier approach of wake_up_interruptible was also looking at 'queue_cnt' which is not necessary, because it increment of 'queue_cnt' with wake_up_inetrriptible / waker_up_process introduces race condition. Fix: Instead of fixing the code which used wake_up_process and remove 'queue_cnt', using work_queue based approach is cleaner and acheives same result. As well, work queue based approach has less programming overhead and OS manages threads which processes work queues. This patch is developed by Christoph Hellwig and reviwed+validated by Kiran Patil.
