Subject: PCI: pciehp: Fix wait time in timeout message
From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d433889cd5a0933fbd90f1e65bff5a8d7963cc52 upstream.
When we warned about a timeout on a hotplug command, we previously printed
the time between calls to pcie_write_cmd(), without accounting for any time
spent actually waiting. Consider this sequence:
pcie_write_cmd
write SLTCTL
cmd_started = jiffies # T1
pcie_write_cmd
pcie_wait_cmd
now = jiffies # T2
wait_event_timeout # we may wait here
if (timeout)
ctrl_info("Timeout on command issued %u msec ago",
jiffies_to_msecs(now - cmd_started))
We previously printed (T2 - T1), but that doesn't include the time spent in
wait_event_timeout().
Fix this by using the current jiffies value, not the one cached before
calling wait_event_timeout().
[bhelgaas: changelog, use current jiffies instead of adding timeout]
