I would appreciate any comments from the janitor@sternweltens list. This is one (of
many) cases where I made a decision about replacing
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_timeout(some_time);
with
msleep(jiffies_to_msecs(some_time));
msleep() is not exactly the same as the previous code, but I only did
this replacement where I thought long delays were *desired*. If this is
not the case here, then just disregard this patch.
Note: I could not find any current Maintainer for this driver. If there
is one I should sent the patch too, please let me know.
Thanks,
Nish
Description: Uses msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee
the task delays at least the desired time amount.
