If we are testing if a reservation object's fences have been
signaled with timeout=0 (non-blocking), we need to pass 0 for
timeout to dma_fence_wait_timeout().

Plus bonus spelling correction.

One should ask if we should just fix the interface to stop returning
incorrect results (stop "correcting" a completion with 0 jiffies remaining
as 1). A timeout can be distinguished by -ETIME (or your pick of errno).

perhaps -EBUSY, if we go that route (although maybe it should be a
follow-on patch, this one is suitable for backport to stable/lts if
one should so choose..)

I think current approach was chosen to match schedule_timeout() and
other such functions that take a timeout in jiffies.  Not making a
judgement on whether that is a good or bad reason..

We intentionally switched away from that to be in sync with the
wait_event_* interface.

Returning 1 when a function with a zero timeout succeeds is actually
quite common in the kernel.

We actually had this conversation last time, and outside of that it
isn't. Looking at all the convolution to first return 1, then undo the
damage in the caller, it looks pretty silly.


I don't find that very intuitive either, but you would also have to 
handle the error code in the calling function as well.


And it is what the whole kernel does all over the place with it's 
wait_event_* and scheduler timeouts as well.

Christian.
