Revert "vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait"
This reverts commit 59888180 ("vsock: Fix blocking ops call in prepare_to_wait") The commit reverted with this patch caused us to potentially miss wakeups. Since the condition is not checked between the prepare_to_wait and the schedule(), if a wakeup happens after the condition is checked but before the sleep happens, we will miss it. ( A description of the problem can be found here: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-6-sect-2 ). By reverting the patch, the behaviour is still incorrect (since we shouldn't sleep between the prepare_to_wait and the schedule) but at least it will not miss wakeups. The next patch in the series actually fixes the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Claudio Imbrenda <imbrenda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
