Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net/mlx5e: IPsec, fix ASO poll timeout with read_poll_timeout_atomic()
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 23:28:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409202852.158059-3-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409202852.158059-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>

From: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com>

The do-while poll loop uses jiffies for its timeout:
  expires = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(10);

jiffies is sampled at an arbitrary point within the current tick, so the
first partial tick contributes anywhere from a full tick down to nearly
zero real time. For small msecs_to_jiffies() results this is
significant, the effective poll window can be much shorter than the
requested 10ms, and in the worst case the loop exits after a single
iteration (e.g., when HZ=100), well before the device has delivered the
CQE.

Replace the loop with read_poll_timeout_atomic(), which counts elapsed
time via udelay() accounting rather than jiffies, guaranteeing the full
poll window regardless of HZ.

Additionally, read_poll_timeout_atomic() executes the poll operation one
more time after the timeout has expired, giving the CQE a final chance
to be detected. The old do-while loop could exit without a final poll if
the timeout expired during the udelay() between iterations.
