[PATCH v2 1/3] sched/core: Export wake_q functions to kernel modules

From: Waiman Long
Date: Sun Aug 26 2018 - 16:53:50 EST


The use of wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() functions help to do task wakeup
without holding lock can help to reduce lock hold time. They should be
available to kernel modules as well.

A new task_in_wake_q() inline function is also added to check if the
given task is in a wake_q.
