From 26deb18bd5aa6e3d7099b291038fef47b31cbf69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Imre Deak Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 15:55:09 -0700 Subject: wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout() commit 4c663cfc523a88d97a8309b04a089c27dc57fd7e upstream. Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout elapses. However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed. If the wake-up handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the condition became true before the timeout has passed. Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true. This semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious failure under heavy load"). Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915. One case even where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same semantics. I very much like this."
