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] Fixes: 40b960831cfa ("PCI: pciehp: Compute timeout from hotplug command start time") Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ static void pcie_wait_cmd(struct control if (!rc) ctrl_info(ctrl, "Timeout on hotplug command %#010x (issued %u msec ago)\n", ctrl->slot_ctrl, - jiffies_to_msecs(now - ctrl->cmd_started)); + jiffies_to_msecs(jiffies - ctrl->cmd_started)); } /** Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.17/pci-pciehp-fix-wait-time-in-timeout-message.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
