Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (sht4x) Convert update_interval to jiffies in pending data check
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 18:47:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101014756.1921506-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In sht4x_read_values(), the check for whether a pending post-heater
measurement is still fresh compares get_jiffies_64() against
data->heating_complete + data->update_interval. However,
data->heating_complete is stored in jiffies whereas data->update_interval
is stored in milliseconds.
Whenever HZ != 1000, adding data->update_interval directly without
msecs_to_jiffies() mixes incompatible time units. For example, with the
default 2000 ms update_interval, the validity window is inflated to 8
seconds at HZ=250 and 20 seconds at HZ=100 instead of 2 seconds. A read
within that extended window skips triggering a fresh measurement and
instead returns and caches the stale post-heating measurement left in the
sensor's output buffer.
Convert data->update_interval to jiffies using msecs_to_jiffies() when
computing the pending measurement expiration deadline, matching the
next_update calculation right below it.
