You can't use 'cur' to tell if the interrupt arrived. single_task_running()
can break us out of the loop before 'stop'.

+ poll_ns = ktime_to_ns(cur) - ktime_to_ns(start);
Put this line before the if(). block_ns should always include the time
spent polling; even if polling does not succeed.

Ah, I remember why I keep poll_ns calculation in if(). Actually poll_ns has already been accumulated into wait_ns(see how wait_ns is calculated) if polling does not succeed. If put poll_ns calculation before if() I need to reset variable 'start' to ktime_get().

So how about something like:
