[PATCH] media: rzg2l-cru: Replace usleep_range with udelay

[Tommaso Merciai]

`usleep_range()` should not be used in atomic contexts like between
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_lock_irqrestore() pair inside function
rzg2l_cru_stop_image_processing(). That may cause scheduling while
atomic bug.

Hi Tommaso,

Thank you for the patch.

There's an instance of msleep() earlier in this function, surrounded by
spin_unlock_irqrestore() and spin_lock_irqsave(). I wondered if we
should do the same here, but that lead to a second question: why does
the driver need to cover the whole stop procedure with a spinlock in the
first place ?

Good point :)
Mmm maybe the only critical section into the
rzg2l_cru_stop_image_processing() that needs
spin_unlock_irqrestore()/spin_lock_irqsave()
is:

spin_lock_irqsave(&cru->qlock, flags);
cru->state = RZG2L_CRU_DMA_STOPPED;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cru->qlock, flags);

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Kind Regards,
Tommaso

That doesn't look right.
You pretty much never need a lock for a single assignment.
The most you need is a WRITE_ONCE() - and they are pretty unlikely
to matter at all.
