From 848c3920866fdb7b8b353408348df7929306e9be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anil Veliyankara Madam Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 21:18:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: libata-core: Use usleep_range() instead of msleep() for short sleeps (<20 ms) Since msleep() may sleep longer than intended time for values less than 20ms, this patch allows the use of usleep_range for waits less that 20ms. usleep_range is a finer precision implementation of msleep and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for udelay where a precise sleep/busy-wait is unnecessary. More details can be found at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/3/250 and in Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt. This change has been done to improve the performace in PIO6 mode which is used by viking flash.
