search for: __wait_event

...s inside a wait_event() are ok-ish, we'll just get to go around once more. But once you consistently sleep inside a wait_event() things go a bit funny. So for instance; if in ccw_io_helper() we expect that wait_event(, !doing_io()) to be (mostly) true on first go, then we'll never get into __wait_event() and ->state won't actually be mucked about with. The thing to avoid is not actually sleeping (much) but setting TASK_RUNNING and turning the entire thing into a giant poll loop.
