The old wait_on_atomic_t used a custom callback to perform the
schedule(), which used my return semantics of reporting an error code on
timeout. wait_var_event_timeout() uses the schedule() return semantics
of reporting the remaining jiffies (1 if it timed out with 0 jiffies
remaining!) and 0 on failure. This semantic mismatch lead to us falsely
claiming a time out occurred.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
