Return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not int. An appropriately named unsigned long is added and the assignments fixed up. Rather than returning 0 (timeout) or a more or less random remaining time (completion success) this return 0 or 1 which also resolves the type of the functions being int. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@xxxxxxxxx> --- Checking the call-sites of ath10k_wmi_wait_for_unified_ready and ath10k_wmi_wait_for_service_ready the positive return value (remaining time in jiffies) is never passed up the call-chain nor used so it is cleaner to treat this like a boolean success/fail only (actually the two functions should probably be of type bool - but that does not seem to be common practice in the ath10k code base) Patch was only compile tested with x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_ATH_CARDS=m, CONFIG_ATH10K=m Patch is against 4.0-rc3 (localversion-next is -next-20150312) : drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c | 20 ++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c index c7ea77e..a1cdcba 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c @@ -884,20 +884,24 @@ void ath10k_wmi_put_wmi_channel(struct wmi_channel *ch, int ath10k_wmi_wait_for_service_ready(struct ath10k *ar) { - int ret; + unsigned long time_left; - ret = wait_for_completion_timeout(&ar->wmi.service_ready, - WMI_SERVICE_READY_TIMEOUT_HZ); - return ret; + time_left = wait_for_completion_timeout(&ar->wmi.service_ready, + WMI_SERVICE_READY_TIMEOUT_HZ); + if(!time_left) + return 0; + return 1; } int ath10k_wmi_wait_for_unified_ready(struct ath10k *ar) { - int ret; + unsigned long time_left; - ret = wait_for_completion_timeout(&ar->wmi.unified_ready, - WMI_UNIFIED_READY_TIMEOUT_HZ); - return ret; + time_left = wait_for_completion_timeout(&ar->wmi.unified_ready, + WMI_UNIFIED_READY_TIMEOUT_HZ); + if(!time_left) + return 0; + return 1; } struct sk_buff *ath10k_wmi_alloc_skb(struct ath10k *ar, u32 len) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
