The patch spi: change post transfer udelay() to usleep_range() for long delays has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 8244bd3ab405a1268223a282b32d28031f7e16fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 18:55:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] spi: change post transfer udelay() to usleep_range() for long delays The spi_transfer parameter delay_usecs allows specifying a time to wait after transferring a spi message. This wait can be quite long - some devices, such as some Chrome OS ECs, require as much as 2000 usecs after a SPI transaction, before it can respond. (cf: arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra132-norrin.dts: google,cros-ec-spi-msg-delay = <2000> ) Blocking a CPU for 2 msecs in a busy loop like this doesn't seem very friendly to other processes, so change the blocking delay to a sleep to allow other things to use this CPU (or so it can sleep). This should be safe to do, because: (a) A post-transaction delay like this is always specified as a minimum wait time (b) A delay here is most likely not very time sensitive, as it occurs after all data has been transferred (c) This delay occurs in a non-critical section of the spi worker thread so where it is safe to sleep. Two caveats: 1) To avoid penalizing short delays, still use udelay for delays < 10us. 2) usleep_range() very often picks the upper bound, an upper bounds 10% should be plenty.
