[PATCH v3 1/2] Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 01:14:30 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fundamentally semaphores are a counted primitive, but
DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() does not expose this and explicitly creates a
binary semaphore.

Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument and use that in the
few places that open-coded it using __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER().

[mcgrof: add some tribal knowledge about why some folks prefer
binary sempahores over mutexes]
