Subject: A small mini_receive() cleanup
X-Git-Tag: v3.1.7~77
X-Git-Url: http://zhaoyanbai.com/repos/icons/apache_pb.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f962b47986bf6bc8fe76b3aff6c07ff78236f91;p=minix.git

A small mini_receive() cleanup

- this patch substitutes *xpp for sender to increase readability of
  mini_receive().

- makes sure that the dequeued sender has p_q_link == NULL and that
  this condition holds when enqueuing the sender again.

- it is a sanity check to make sure that the new sender is not
  enqueued already. Before this change the dequeued sender's p_q_link
  may not be NULL and it was only set to NULL when enqueued again.
