From: Hante Meuleman <[email protected]> Msgbuf is using a wait_event_timeout to wait for the response on an ioctl. The wakeup routine uses waitqueue_active to see if wait_event_timeout has been called. There is a chance that the response arrives before wait_event_timeout is called, this will result in situation that wait_event_timeout never gets woken again and assumed result will be a timeout. This patch removes that errornous situation by always setting the ctl_completed var before checking for queue active.
