Yes, I made a mistake, Now I realize that in v2, it will return 1 in error path

when DMA submit failed.

And for patch v1, it will return 0  if calls wait_for_completion_timeout succeeds.

So I want to keep ret>0 means success.

Or could I set ret > 0 after in wait_for_completion_timeout() success path?

like:

    if(time_left == 0)

            ret = -ETIMEDOUT;

    else

            ret = 1;

What do you think?
