Can't we just post increment inside the loop ? ahw->idc.vnic_wait_limit = QLCNIC_DEV_NPAR_OPER_TIMEO; while (state != QLCNIC_DEV_NPAR_OPER && idc->vnic_wait_limit) { idc->vnic_wait_limit--; -----; -----; } Thanks, Manish -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
