Probably, I didn't look at it too much.  Feel free to fix it.

The patch was just to demonstrate the statement expression macro
and show the lack of schedules() in some of the loops.

Maybe the statement expression macro should optionally schedule too:

#define TEST_UNTIL_TIMEOUT(test, hz, schedule)		\
({							\
	typeof(test) t;					\
	unsigned long timeout = jiffies + (hz);		\
	do {						\
		t = (test);				\
		if (t)					\
			break;				\
		if ((schedule))				\
			schedule();			\
	} while (time_before(jiffies, timeout));	\
	t;						\
})

cheers, Joe
