[PATCH] USB: fixes of assumptions about waitqueues
quoting Linus: -- > so there is no need to recheck the bit in do/while loop, because > there is no false wakeups now. You should never assume this. You should assume that there are _always_ false wakeups. Why? Because Linux has always allowed people to leave wait-queues active, without being "atomic". For example, the tty read/write layer used to (still does?) add itself on the wait-queue _once_, and then leave itself on the wait-queue while in a loop it does copies from/to user space. -- Unfortunately, this means us. Here's the first fix. Comments? - make sure timeouts are observed even if somebody left us on a queue
