Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] drm: Add drm_timeout_rel_to_jiffies()
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:05:42 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817-drm-timeout-helpers-v2-2-73052b669f49@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817-drm-timeout-helpers-v2-0-73052b669f49@igalia.com>
drm_timeout_abs_to_jiffies() covers the drivers whose wait UAPI takes an
absolute deadline, but there is no equivalent for the drivers that
express a wait as a duration. Drivers such as i915 and v3d convert the
value themselves.
Converting a nanosecond duration to jiffies needs some care.
nsecs_to_jiffies() returns unsigned long, so on 32-bit a large
userspace-supplied timeout overflows its range and is silently truncated.
i915 already handles both cases in a local helper, which v3d has a copy
of. Add the same conversion to the core, so that it is available to any
driver and both copies can be dropped.
