Also - there is another race - after atomic_set(&io->wakeup, 1), the
target process may terminate, so wake_up_process(sleeper) operates on
non-existing process. You need to declare a special wait queue or use
wait_on_atomic_t+wake_up_atomic_t (that uses uses pre-initialized hash of
wait queues) to avoid that race.
But as I said - the completion approach is better. It doesn't suffer from
these problems.
