Subject: [PATCH RFC] clk: wm831x: fix usleep_range with bad range
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 08:40:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481528409-5182-1-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org> (raw)
The delay here is not in atomic context and does not seem critical with
respect to precision, but usleep_range(min,max) with min==max results in
giving the timer subsystem no room to optimize uncritical delays. Fix
this by setting the range to 2000,3000 us.
Fixes: commit f05259a6ffa4 ("clk: wm831x: Add initial WM831x clock driver")

problem was located by coccinelle spatch
The problem is that usleep_range is calculating the delay by
exp = ktime_add_us(ktime_get(), min)
delta = (u64)(max - min) * NSEC_PER_USEC
so delta is set to 0
and then calls
schedule_hrtimeout_range(exp, 0,...)
effectively this means that the clock subsystem has no room to
optimize and the behavior is no better than using usleep().
As this is not a critical delay it is set to a range of 2 to 3
milliseconds - this change needs a review by someone that knows
the details of the device though.
Q:It might actually be possible to just use msleep(2) here rather
than using a hrtimer, at least I do not see what a hrtimer would be
needed here for - a longer delay e.g. on a HZ100 box should not hurt ?
Patch was only compile tested with: i386_defconfig + CONFIG_X86_INTEL_QUARK=y
CONFIG_MFD_WM831X_I2C=y, COMMON_CLK=y, CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_WM831X=m
Patch is against: 4.9.0-rc8 (localversion-next is -next-20161209)
