Subject: [PATCH v2] cfq-iosched: convert group idle time to jiffies
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 21:16:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151229201649.GA31593@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch refers to Jens Axboe's change way back in 2006:
7b14e3b52 cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixups

In this patch he fixed a potential timer race condition by delaying
idle_slice_timer by the slice_idle time value.

Today this timer is delayed by either slice_idle or group_idle time
values, which on my system, and according to
Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt the default value for group_idle
is 8ms.

Since the time given by group_idle is supposed to be in milliseconds
we should convert that value from milliseconds to jiffies before
adding it to jiffies variable and setting our timer.
