Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] ionic: Small improvements in devcmd retry logic
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:15:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501031555.43259-2-eric.joyner@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501031555.43259-1-eric.joyner@amd.com>

From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@amd.com>

If the timeout time is hit when the last attempt returned EAGAIN, the
driver returns -ETIMEDOUT. This causes the -EAGAIN result to be lost.
Fix this by returning -EAGAIN if the timeout time is hit and the
previous result matches.

Also, reduce the sleep between the write to done and doorbell
registers. The msleep(1000) was initially added in an arbitrary
manner. However, this long of a sleep is problematic because
it reduces the number of retries when -EAGAIN is returned, which
may result in the devmcd giving up early due to the timeout. Fix
this by reducing the sleep to msleep(50).
