This kind of change you can only do if you know this is correct.

I dug depeer in to the usleep_range https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/time/timer.c#L1993 u64 delta = (u64)(max - min) * NSEC_PER_USEC; * The @delta argument gives the kernel the freedom to schedule the * actual wakeup to a time that is both power and performance friendly. * The kernel give the normal best effort behavior for "@expires+@delta", * but may decide to fire the timer earlier, but no earlier than @expires. My understanding is that keeping delta 0 (min=max=20) would be equivalent. I can revise the patch to usleep_range(20, 20) or usleep_range(20, 21) for a 1 usec delta. What do you suggest? thanks, Sreeram _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Please read the comment above the line you're referring to: * In non-atomic context where the exact wakeup time is flexible, use * usleep_range() instead of udelay(). The sleep improves responsiveness * by avoiding the CPU-hogging busy-wait of udelay(), and the range reduces * power usage by allowing hrtimers to take advantage of an already- * scheduled interrupt instead of scheduling a new one just for this sleep. Is this function always called in non-atomic context? If it may be called in atomic context, replacing the udelay() call by a usleep*() call will break the driver. See also "the first and most important question" in Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst, as referred to by the checkpatch.pl message.
