Subject: [PATCH 0/1] sched/wait: wait_event*_timeout() needs ___wait_cond_timeout() too
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 20:30:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131007183043.GA10969@redhat.com> (raw)

And another patch we already discussed.

wait_event_timeout(wq, true, 0) still returns 0, this doesn't look
right, and this doesn't match __wait_event_timeout(timeout => 0).

Sure, most probably nobody uses the constant timeout == 0, but this
can break the code which does something like

	if (nonblock)
		timeout = 0;
	else
		timeout = TIMEOUT;

	success = wait_event_timeout(wq, CONDITION, timeout);

Oleg.
