commit64ed1e3e72upstream. snooze_loop is done often in any system which has fair bit of idle time. So it qualifies for even micro-optimizations. When breaking the snooze due to timeout, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is cleared twice. Clearing the bit invokes atomics. Avoid double clear and thereby avoid one atomic write. dev->poll_time_limit indicates whether the loop was broken due to timeout. Use that instead of defining a new variable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
