Hi guys,

I need this patch (or something similar) to fix an issue with the way Ceph
is waiting for MDS requests to complete. I'm assuming there's no specific
reason the _killable_timeout variant was excluded? Can this go into .35?

Thanks-
sage

Subject: [PATCH] sched: add wait_for_completion_killable_timeout

Add missing _killable_timeout variant for wait_for_completion that will
return when a timeout expires or the task is killed.
