It would be
wait_for(false, jiffies_to_ms(max(ms_to_jiffies(timestamp+to_wait_ms) - jiffies, 0))
or something pretty similar. Definitely macro abuse as you would be
hoping that the compiler turned
while (!time_after(jiffies, timeout)) msleep(1);
into
msleep(to_ms(timeout-jiffies));
So perhaps clearer would be:
intel_wait_until_after(unsigned long timestamp_jiffies,
int to_wait_ms)
{
timestamp_jiffies += msec_to_jiffes(to_wait_ms) + 1;
if (time_after(timestamp_jiffies, jiffies) {
timestamp_jiffies -= jiffies;
while (timestamp_jiffies)
timestamp_jiffies = schedule_timeout(timestamp_jiffies);
}
}
