The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in <linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes from <linux/sched/signal.h>. That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927835a "Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit). It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define __wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code. The code that includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper function is the right thing to do. Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()" set of helper functions. We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of subtly different wait-event loops. But this is the minimal patch to fix the annoying header dependency.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
