Hi Matthew,

So you prefer that I should switch order of WAKE_NEXT and WAKE_ALL? 

enum dax_wake_mode {
	WAKE_ALL,
	WAKE_NEXT,
};


And then do following to wake task.

if (waitqueue_active(wq))
	__wake_up(wq, TASK_NORMAL, mode, &key);

I am fine with this if you like this better.

Or you are suggesting that don't introduce "enum dax_wake_mode" to
begin with.
