Would you like to comment on that?
- I believe we should forget about jiffies, HZ and other similar obsolete
timekeeping stuff;
- I have no ideas where did you get 'most typical' 20 ms. MMC subsystem
uses
mmc_delay() with two compile-time fixed values 1 and 10 ms, with the only
exception of card-dependent sleep/awake timeout. I was unable to find a
table
with typical values, but it's rounded up to >= 1 ms anyway.
The main aim of my patch was to fix mmc_delay() to give accurate delay.
You might want to refer to Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
(Section: SLEEPING FOR ~USECS OR SMALL MSECS) to know why usleep_range()
must be used instead of msleep for delays less than 20ms (or more
accurately two jiffies, since in HZ=100 systems this comes to 20ms).
Also, in the documentation it is suggested that for delays greater than
10ms+ use msleep(). Although MMC subsystem doesn't use mmc_delay() for
greater than 10ms today but I guess we should keep it for future purpose
and just not have only usleep_range() as your patch did.
