Using counter based retry loops for peripherals results in the delay being significantly overrun during high-load situations where delay functions tend to be vary imprecise and overrun there timeouts. So condition the termination on the actual condition of 2s for the re-calibration to have been successful. As this is a very long delay there is no advantage in using high-resolution timers thus switching this to msleep(). Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org> --- V2: The maximum recalibration timeout should have been 2 * HZ as Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> noted - V2 sets the timeout boundary to 2s now. Problem detected with coccinelle script (usleep_range for long delay) The basic model for the fix up here is to use timeout = jiffies + (retry_time) do { check() mleep() } while (time_is_after_jiffies(timeout)); rather than using a counter and have very long retry loops under load conditions. In the specific case it is sleep()/check() though to wait on the previous write to complete. The initial intent was to move the usleep_range() to msleep() as the delays are very long - if this refactoring of the timeout loop is desirable or not is not clear (both time and count based models seem to be common). Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MOUSE_CYAPA=m Patch is against 4.10-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20170113) drivers/input/mouse/cyapa_gen3.c | 27 ++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
