Since you have to repost,

	if (!data)
		return true;

	usleep_range(950, 1000);


will be more readable


Side note: this quite huge for a 'net' patch: it would be nice (but not
mandatory) if you could break it in smaller pieces or consider a 'net-
next' target. In the latter case, please note that 'net-next' is
currently closed for the merge window.

Cheers,
