[KJ] [PATCH 3/22] block/cciss: replace schedule_timeout() with

[Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>]

Hi,

Please consider applying.

I used msleep(10) here under the presumption that the schedule_timeout(1) was
written assuming that HZ=100 (as it used to be), which is
equivalent to 10 milliseconds. If the desire is actually for 1 ms or the minimal
sleep interval, then the patch can be changed appropriately. A similar assumption
as to the constant delay value was made in the other replacement, which can also
be appropriately adjusted.

Description: Change the delay logic in pollcomplete() to use msleep() and
time_before(). Instead of assuming schedule_timeout() will sleep exactly as
requested, use msleep(10) to guarantee minimally 10 millisecond increments and
time_before() to guarantee stopping the loop as close to 20 seconds as possible.
Also changes another occurrence of schedule_timeout() to msleep().
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is used in this case, but signals are not handled.
