                     schedule_timeout -->  may sleep

To fix it, "wait_timeout" is replaced with mdelay in sd_change_phase.
Nice work, how are you finding these bugs?  What tools gives you this
kind of analysis?

thanks,

Hi,

I am very glad to get your praise on my work :)
I recently write a static analysis tool for detecting sleep-in-atomic bugs, instead of using existing tools. One reason is that I have encountered these bugs for some times when I writing drivers. I am still improving my tool and detecting other similar bugs in Linux kernel. If you have suggestions or comments on my work, please feel free to contact me :)

Thanks,
Jia-Ju Bai
