Message-ID: <20060930013549.a489fbb1.akpm@osdl.org> (raw)

General readability comment. This:
enum hrtimer_mode {
HRTIMER_ABS, /* Time value is absolute */
HRTIMER_REL, /* Time value is relative to now */
};
enum hrtimer_restart {
HRTIMER_NORESTART,
HRTIMER_RESTART,
};
#define HRTIMER_INACTIVE 0x00
#define HRTIMER_ACTIVE 0x01
#define HRTIMER_CALLBACK 0x02
#define HRTIMER_PENDING 0x04
is quite bad. They enumerate different conceptual things but they are all
in the sane namespace. The reader sees code which is using a mixture of
HRTIMER_ABS, HRTIMER_RESTART and HRTIMER_ACTIVE and gets needlessly
confused over what they all signify.
This:
enum hrtimer_cb_mode {
HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ,
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE,
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_RESTART,
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ,
};
is better.
