From 59a32a4624d81a014fecbeb31e63946984dbbc01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chase Southwood Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 22:00:54 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Staging: comedi: convert while loops to timeouts in s626.c This patch changes a handful of while loops to timeouts to prevent infinite looping on hardware failure. A couple such loops are in a function (s626_debi_transfer()) which is called from critical sections, so comedi_timeout() is unusable for them, and an iterative timeout is used instead. For the while loops in a context where comedi_timeout() is allowed, a new callback function, s626_send_dac_eoc(), has been defined to evaluate the conditions that the while loops are testing. The new callback employs a switch statement based on a simple new enum so that it is usable for all of the different conditions tested in while loops in s626_send_dac(). The proper comedi_timeout() calls are then used. Signed-off-by: Chase Southwood Reviewed-by: Ian Abbott Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
