[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/platform/amd: replace down_timeout with down_interruptible
Posted by Jake Hillion via B4 Relay 6 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Jake Hillion <jake@hillion.co.uk>

Currently hsmp_send_message uses down_timeout with a 100ms timeout to
take the semaphore. However __hsmp_send_message, the content of the
critical section, has a sleep in it. On systems with significantly
delayed scheduling behaviour this may take over 100ms.

Convert this method to down_interruptible. Leave the error handling the
same as the documentation currently is not specific about what error is
returned.

Previous behaviour: a caller who competes with another caller stuck in
the critical section due to scheduler delays would receive -ETIME.

New behaviour: a caller who competes with another caller stuck in the
critical section due to scheduler delays will complete successfully.
