Because I chose to follow the existing naming scheme. wait_event() - uninterruptible wait wait_event_interruptible() - interruptible wait wait_event_interruptible_timeout() - interruptible wait with timeout so, the uninterruptible wait with timeout can only logically be: wait_event_timeout() Lets not go starting a new naming scheme. 8) -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
