2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Roel Kluin commit a746b578d8406b2db0e9f0d040061bc1f78433cf upstream With a postfix decrement these timeouts reach -1 rather than 0, but after the loop it is tested whether they have become 0. As pointed out by Jean Delvare, the condition we are waiting for should also be tested before the timeout. With the current order, you could exit with a timeout error while the job is actually done.
