    sched/completions: Fix complete_all() semantics · da9647e0
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Documentation/scheduler/completion.txt says this about complete_all():
    
      "calls complete_all() to signal all current and future waiters."
    
    Which doesn't strictly match the current semantics. Currently
    complete_all() is equivalent to UINT_MAX/2 complete() invocations,
    which is distinctly less than 'all current and future waiters'
    (enumerable vs innumerable), although it has worked in practice.
    
    However, Dmitry had a weird case where it might matter, so change
    completions to use saturation semantics for complete()/complete_all().
    Once done hits UINT_MAX (and complete_all() sets it there) it will
    never again be decremented.
