Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] Guiding Use of ssleep over msleep for Whole-Second Delays
Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2024 23:44:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87frx4r8dt.wl-me@linux.beauty> (raw)



This change particularly targets replacing msleep() with ssleep() for
delays that are clear multiples of 1000ms, enhancing code semantics and
readability.

I'm contemplating a kernel-wide update to conform to this practice,
pending community feedback. While a sed script
(like '/\bmsleep\s*\(\s*([0-9]+000)\s*\);/{s/\bmsleep\s*\(\s*([0-9]+)000\s*\);/ssleep(\1);/g}')
could automate this, I'm cautious of potential implications and seek
your thoughts on both the patch and the idea of a broad codebase update.
