This was clearly intended as a retry-10-times loop, but due to the absence of code incrementing the loop-counter it was practically a retry-forever loop.
Rewritten it as a for-loop as well to make the loop-counter increment (as well as its potential absence) easier to spot. --- drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c index c2f09af..35a26c9 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c @@ -144,9 +144,9 @@ static int ql_sem_lock(struct ql3_adapter *qdev, u32 sem_mask, u32 sem_bits) */ static int ql_wait_for_drvr_lock(struct ql3_adapter *qdev) { - int i = 0; + int i; - while (i < 10) { + for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { if (i) ssleep(1); -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
