Subject: [PATCH] rtsx_usb_ms: Use msleep_interruptible() in polling loop
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2014 01:32:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415237557.3398.41.camel@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1126 bytes --]
rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in
uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for
bug-compatibility with Unix). A load average of ~1 on a system that
should be idle is somewhat alarming.
Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals.
A better fix might be to replace this loop with a delayed work item.
