Hi Marc,

Currently I didn't make any improvement on providing a unified utility
function to do the timeout loops, because I haven't found a proper way
yet. And to achieve this, at least three aspects I can imagine are
needed to be considered.

Refactoring the existing loop functions comes first. A prototype is
showed below.

	static T1 func_prototype(T2 node, char *msg, void **args)
	{
		u32 count = 1000000;

		do_something_here(node, args);

		while (1) {
			if (condition_satisfied(node, args))
				return (T1)SUCCESS;

			count--;
			if (!count) {
				print_err_msg(msg);
				return (T1)FAIL;
			}

			cpu_relax();
			udelay(1);
		}
	}

Obviously it will make things complicated to move do_something_here() and
print_err_msg() outside of func_prototype(), because func_prototype() could
be called sereval places. But the two functions are different from each
loop function, so...

	static T1 func_prototype(T2 node, char *msg, void **args)
	{
		u32 count = 1000000;

		do_something_here(node, args);

		while (count--) {
			if (condition_satisfied(node, args))
				return (T1)SUCCESS;

			cpu_relax();
			udelay(1);
		}

		print_err_msg(msg);
		return (T1)FAIL;
	}

Now we can unify the loop part,

	static bool condition_satisfied(T2 node, void **args);

	static u32 poll_timeout(T2 node, void **args,
				bool (*fn)(T2, void **))
	{
		u32 count = 1000000;

		while (count--) {
			if (fn(node, args))
				break;

			cpu_relax();
			udelay(1);
		}

		return count;
	}

	static T1 func_prototype(T2 node, char *msg, void **args)
	{
		do_something_here(node, args);

		if (poll_timeout(node, args, condition_satisfied)) {
			return (T1)SUCCESS;
		} else {
			print_err_msg(msg);
			return (T1)FAIL;
		}
	}

Look at what I have done, turn the original N loop functions to 2*N+1 functions.
It can hardly be called improvement.. :(

The 2nd and 3rd aspects are return value and list of parameters respectively.
Using (void *) may help a lot, I think.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
