Jiang, if you want to submit another patch,
You could split the long sentence:
if (!atomic_read(&queue->set_pci_flags_count)) {
/*
* there's no outstanding PCI any more, so we
- * have to request a PCI to be sure the the PCI
- * will wake at some time in the future then we
+ * have to request a PCI to be sure the PCI
+ * will wake at some time in the future. Then we
* can flush packed buffers that might still be
* hanging around, which can happen if no
I don't think this is a significant improvement in readability, though.
