megaraid_sas takes 1+ seconds to load while waiting for firmware: [2.822603] megaraid_sas 0000:03:00.0: Waiting for FW to come to ready state [3.871003] megaraid_sas 0000:03:00.0: FW now in Ready state This is due to the following loop in megasas_transition_to_ready(), which waits a minimum of 1 second, even though the FW becomes ready in tens of millisecs: /* * The cur_state should not last for more than max_wait secs */ for (i = 0; i < max_wait; i++) { ... msleep(1000); ... dev_info(&instance->pdev->dev, "FW now in Ready state\n"); This is a regression, caused by a change of the msleep granularity from 1 to 1000 due to concern about waiting too long on systems with coarse jiffies. To fix, increase iterations and use msleep(20), which results in: [2.670627] megaraid_sas 0000:03:00.0: Waiting for FW to come to ready state [2.739386] megaraid_sas 0000:03:00.0: FW now in Ready state Fixes: fb2f3e96d80f ("scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix msleep granularity") Signed-off-by: Steve Sistare <steven.sistare@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c b/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c index a30c1b3..a707af5 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c @@ -3932,12 +3932,12 @@ static irqreturn_t megasas_isr(int irq, void *devp) /* * The cur_state should not last for more than max_wait secs */ - for (i = 0; i < max_wait; i++) { + for (i = 0; i < max_wait * 50; i++) { curr_abs_state = instance->instancet-> read_fw_status_reg(instance); if (abs_state == curr_abs_state) { - msleep(1000); + msleep(20); } else break; } -- 1.8.3.1
