skbuff query

[Kiran Kumar <immidi_kiran@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
  Can some one clarify why this code piece
(alloc_skb() skbuff.c) has ++count < 5? Should it not
be greater than, if it intends to tolerate the
condition 5 times.

if (in_interrupt() && (gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT)) {
      static int count = 0;
      if (++count < 5) {
      printk(KERN_ERR "alloc_skb called nonatomically
"
              "from interrupt %p\n",
NET_CALLER(size));
                BUG();
      }
                gfp_mask &= ~__GFP_WAIT;
}

=====
Regards,
Kiran Kumar Immidi
