This is totally unnecessary in the case that there is no message queued. On a multi-core system this results in one wakeup of the thread for each spi_message processed via spi_sync where in most cases the teardown does not happen as the hw is already in use. This patch now delays the teardown by 1 second by using a separate kthread_delayed_work for the teardown. This avoids waking the kthread too often. For spi_sync transfers in a tight loop (say 40k messages/s) this avoids the penalty of waking the worker thread 40k times/s. On a rasperry pi 3 with 4 cores the results in 32% of a single core only to find out that there is nothing in the queue and it can go back to sleep. With this patch applied the spi-worker is woken exactly once: after the load finishes and the spi bus is idle for 1 second. I believe I have also seen situations where during a spi_sync loop the worker thread (triggered by the last message finished) is slightly faster and _wins_ the race to process the message, so we are actually running the kthread and letting it do some work... This is also no longer observed with this patch applied as. Tested with a new CAN controller driver for the mcp2517fd which uses spi_sync for interrupt handling and spi_async for scheduling of can frames for transmission (in a different thread) Some statistics when receiving 100000 CAN frames with the mcp25xxfd driver on a Raspberry pi 3: without the patch: ------------------ root@raspcm3:~# for x in $(pgrep spi0) $(pgrep irq/94-mcp25xxf) ;
