[PATCH] Fix sleep-while-holding-lock bug in es1968

From: Arjan van de Ven
Date: Mon Mar 31 2008 - 08:20:58 EST


snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked area,
and later, while holding a lock.
snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it.. which
sleeps, so the second call is invalid.

This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While this
is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to do here,
we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just before, so it is
very unlikely to take a long time here.
