So the wait_event_timeout condition here ends up being (empty || skip) but what is the point of puting this code into the parameter list of wait_event_timeout() ?
Would it not be equivalent to:
bool empty; ...
spin_lock_bh(&ar->htt.tx_lock); empty = (ar->htt.num_pending_tx == 0); spin_unlock_bh(&ar->htt.tx_lock);
skip = (ar->state == ATH10K_STATE_WEDGED) || test_bit(ATH10K_FLAG_CRASH_FLUSH, &ar->dev_flags);
ret = wait_event_timeout(ar->htt.empty_tx_wq, (empty || skip), ATH10K_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_HZ);
What am I missing here ?
Umm... a Signed-off-by: and formatting it as an actual patch? :)
Seriously - you're right, it's ugly code that needs fixing...
thats what I thought too but it seemed to be intentional so I was just confused if it were some strange side-effect that I had not understood. thanks for the clarification ! hofrat
