The driver should call INIT_COMPLETION(&info->completion) before starting the conversion. Otherwise there may be a problem if we got interrupted while waiting for the interrupt. E.g. imagine the following sequence. 1) Start conversion 2) Wait for completion 3) Abort waiting 4) Interrupt kicks in and marks the completion as done Now if another conversion is started the completion will already be completed and wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() will return right away without waiting for the conversion to be finished. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
