[RESEND PATCH net-next v4 3/4] test/vsock: Add retry mechanism to ioctl wrapper

There is a newer version of this series
[RESEND PATCH net-next v4 3/4] test/vsock: Add retry mechanism to ioctl wrapper
Posted by Xuewei Niu 7 months, 2 weeks ago 
Wrap the ioctl in `ioctl_int()`, which takes a pointer to the actual
int value and an expected int value. The function will not return until
either the ioctl returns the expected value or a timeout occurs, thus
avoiding immediate failure.

Why we need the `actual` parameter?

We can exit early `if (*actual == expected)`, and the `expected` can be any integer.
I also make it to be a pointer, because the caller might need to have the actual value.

IIUC this function return true if `*actual == expected` or false if 
there was an error, so I don't see the point of aving `actual`, since it 
can only be equal to `expected` if it returns true, or invalid if it 
returs false.

Nice catch! I'll remove it in v5.
