+ * wait_event_interruptible_timeout_modify - sleep until a condition  
gets true or a timeout elapses.
+ * @wq: the waitqueue to wait on
+ * @condition: a C expression for the event to wait for
+ * @timeout: timeout, in jiffies
+ *
+ * The process is put to sleep (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) until the
+ * @condition evaluates to true or a signal is received.
+ * The @condition is checked each time the waitqueue @wq is woken up.
+ *
+ * wake_up() has to be called after changing any variable that could
+ * change the result of the wait condition.
+ *
+ * The function returns 0 if the @timeout elapsed, -ERESTARTSYS if it
+ * was interrupted by a signal, and the remaining jiffies otherwise
+ * if the condition evaluated to true before the timeout elapsed.
+ * It also modifies the @timeout value so that if the sleep is  
interrupted
+ * by a signal, the caller can call this helper again with the updated
+ * timeout.
