Hm, right, I didn't think this through.
How about:
do {
if (!indio_dev->info)
return -ENODEV;
if (!iio_buffer_ready(...)) {
if (signal_pending(current)) {
ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
break;
}
wait_woken(...);
continue;
}
...
} while (ret == 0);
And then also drop the if (!indio_dev->info) at the beginning of the function.
