Thus, NULL that pointer while clearing. This change renders wqueue->defunct superfluous, as the latter is only used to check if watch_queue is cleared. With this change, the pipe is NULLed while clearing, so we can just check if the pipe is NULL. Extending comment for watch_queue->pipe in the definition of watch_queue made the comment conventionally too long (it was already past 80 chars), so I have changed the struct annotations to be kerneldoc-styled, so that I can extend the comment mentioning that the pipe is NULL when watch_queue is cleared. In the process, I have also hopefully improved documentation by documenting things which weren't documented before. Changes in v3: - Fixed misplaced/incorrect comment for members watch_list and list_node in struct watch. - Minor rephrase of comment before NULLing in watch_queue_clear(). Changes in v2 (6 Aug 2022): - Merged the NULLing and removing defunct patches. - Removed READ_ONCE barrier in lock_wqueue(). - Improved and fixed errors in struct docs. - Better commit messages.
