Subject: [PATCH 4/9] random: simplify loop in random_read
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 03:07:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131113080740.GR16018@ringworld.MIT.EDU> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1384329436.git.price@mit.edu>

The loop condition never changes until just before a break, so we
might as well write it as a constant.  Also since v2.6.33-rc7~40^2~2
("random: drop weird m_time/a_time manipulation") we don't do
anything after the loop finishes, so the 'break's might as well
return directly.  Some other simplifications.

The behavior should be identical except that I've changed a debug
message.
