That seems a lot more readable to me. Also we can switch to TASK_KILLABLE for the short sleeps, just to not introduce any delay in shutting down aild when kthread_stop is called. It would look something like this: if (tout && tout <= 20) __set_current_state(TASK_KILLABLE); else __set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); schedule_timeout(tout ? msecs_to_jiffies(tout) : MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT); _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
