I was reviewing the patch below, and I'm a little confused about the
added up() call. This semaphore is used to signal an interrupt arriving,
where the code below is waiting for the interrupt. The added up()
effectively signals that the interrupt arrived even tho it hasn't..
Which means the next down() call won't sleep at all it just falls
through .. I don't think that is what's desired, but I though I would
ask..

The other question is that it's called conditional on a potentially
random signal getting delivered to this process. Which really make it
seem non-conforming..

    [SCSI] aacraid: Fix down_interruptible() to check the return value
    
    Instead of ignoring the return value in aac_fib_send() return 2 to
    indicate to the layers above that fib transmission was aborted due to
    timeout.
