From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx> After running the following commands, some confusing messages was printed out: # while : ; do iptables -A INPUT & iptables -D INPUT & done [...] Another app is currently holding the xtables lock; still -9s 0us time ahead to have a chance to grab the lock... Another app is currently holding the xtables lock; still -29s 0us time ahead to have a chance to grab the lock... If "-w" option is not specified, the "wait" will be zero, so we should check whether the timer_left is less than wait_interval before we call select to sleep. Also remove unused "BASE_MICROSECONDS" and "struct timeval waited_time" introduced by commit e8f857a5a151 ("xtables: Add an interval option for xtables lock wait").
