Subject: ips: use interruptible waits in ips-monitor
From: Jesse Barnes <[email protected]>
commit a3424216e4935221fdaa5ca3c26e024f11297164 upstream.
This is what I intended to do since:
1) the driver handles variable waits just fine, and
2) interruptible waits aren't reported as load in the load avg.
