Right, this avoids the dequeuing at error.

But still there is a race between wait_event_interruptible() and
dequeuing.  So, the more comprehensive code should look like:

	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, buffer, count))
		return -EFAULT;

	spin_lock_irq(&dev->event_lock);
	for (;;) {
		if (list_empty(&file_priv->event_list)) {
			if (ret)
				break;
			if (!(filp->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK)) {
				ret = -EAGAIN;
				break;
			}
			spin_unlock_irq(&dev->event_lock);
			ret = wait_event_interruptible(....);
			spin_lock_irq(&dev->event_lock);
			if (ret < 0)
				break;
			ret = 0;
			continue;
		}

		e = list_first_entry(&file_priv->event_list,
                                     struct drm_pending_event, link);
		if (e->event->length + ret > count)
			break;

		if (__copy_to_user_inatomic(buffer + ret,
					    e->event, e->event->length)) {
			if (!ret)
				ret = -EFAULT;
			break;
		}

		file_priv->event_space += e->event->length;
		ret += e->event->length;
		list_del(&e->link);
		e->destroy(e);
	}			

	spin_unlock_irq(&dev->event_lock);
	return ret;


thanks,
