Well, I'd love to but a quick glance at the code caused me to bump into this obscenity:

int
gm200_flcn_reset_wait_mem_scrubbing(struct nvkm_falcon *falcon)
{
        nvkm_falcon_mask(falcon, 0x040, 0x00000000, 0x00000000);

        if (nvkm_msec(falcon->owner->device, 10,
                if (!(nvkm_falcon_rd32(falcon, 0x10c) & 0x00000006))
                        break;
        ) < 0)
                return -ETIMEDOUT;

        return 0;
}

nvkm_msec is #defined to nvkm_usec which in turn is #defined to nvkm_nsec where the loop that the break is related to
appears.> Chris
