Subject: Re: wait_for_completion_interruptible() changes

> I suspect this is caused by the recent completion refactoring?
 
Yes. Here's a patch to fix it.

Fix return value of wait_for_completion_interruptible()

The recent w_f_c() changes broke the return value of 
wait_for_completion_interruptible(). Previously it returned 0 on success,
now -1. Fix that.
