9       void abort_exclusive_wait(wait_queue_head_t * q, wait_queue_t * wait,
10                                 unsigned int mode, void * key);

ARGUMENTS

13       q
14           waitqueue waited on
15
16       wait
17           wait descriptor
18
19       mode

DESCRIPTION

26       Sets current thread back to running state and removes the wait
27       descriptor from the given waitqueue if still queued.
28
29       Wakes up the next waiter if the caller is concurrently woken up through
30       the queue.
31
32       This prevents waiter starvation where an exclusive waiter aborts and is
33       woken up concurrently and no one wakes up the next waiter.
