Subject[34-longterm 131/179] powerpc/kdump: Fix timeout in crash_kexec_wait_realmode
Date
From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 63f21a56f1cc0b800a4c00349c59448f82473d19 upstream.

The existing code it pretty ugly. How about we clean it up even more
like this?

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.
