    selftests: forwarding: lib: Add helpers for busywaiting · 4121d947
    Petr Machata authored
    The function busywait() is handy as a safety-latched variant of a while
    loop. Many selftests deal specifically with counter values, and busywaiting
    on them is likely to be rather common (it is not quite common now, but
    busywait() has not been around for very long). To facilitate expressing
    simply what is tested, introduce two helpers:
    
    - until_counter_is(), which can be used as a predicate passed to
      busywait(), which holds when expression, which is itself passed as an
      argument to until_counter_is(), reaches a desired value.
    
    - busywait_for_counter(), which is useful for waiting until a given counter
      changes "by" (as opposed to "to") a certain amount.
