Subject: [ 9/9 ] sfc: Fix timekeeping in efx_mcdi_poll()
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:11:58 -0400	[thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: 0009-sfc-Fix-timekeeping-in-efx_mcdi_poll.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3051 bytes --]

From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

[ Upstream commit ebf98e797b4e26ad52ace1511a0b503ee60a6cd4 ]

efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to
implement a polling timeout.  The use of this function was chosen
partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment
with a macro that read the simulated time.

Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real
time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd.  If the system time
is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective
timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a
spurious failure.  It is also possible for a backward adjustment to
delay detection of a areal failure.

Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in
jiffies.  Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish
(or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish.
