Hi,
a question about which sleeping function should be used in acpi_os_sleep()
started a discussion and examination about the existing documentation and
implementation of functions which insert a sleep/delay.
The result of the discussion was, that the documentation is outdated and
the implemented fsleep() reflects the outdated documentation but doesn't
help to reflect reality which in turns leads to the queue which covers the
following things:
- Split out all timeout and sleep related functions from hrtimer.c and timer.c
into a separate file
- Update function descriptions of sleep related functions
- Change fsleep() to reflect reality
- Rework all comments or users which obviously rely on the outdated
documentation as they reference "Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst"
- Last but not least (as there are no more references): Update the outdated
documentation and move it into a file with a self explaining file name
The queue is available here and applies on top of tip/timers/core:

Changes in v2:
- change udelay() and ndelay() as suggested by Thomas
- Update some formatting in the new sleep_timeout.c file
- minor typo changes and other small review remarks
Thanks,
Anna-Maria
