[11/16] regulator: core: Use fsleep() to get best sleep mechanism commit: f20669fbcf99d0e15e94fb50929bb1c41618e197 All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark

Hi, a question about which sleeping function should be used in acpi_os_sleep() started a discussion and examination about the existing documentation and implementation of functions which insert a sleep/delay. The result of the discussion was, that the documentation is outdated and the implemented fsleep() reflects the outdated documentation but doesn't help to reflect reality which in turns leads to the queue which covers the following things: - Split out all timeout and sleep related functions from hrtimer.c and timer.c into a separate file - Update function descriptions of sleep related functions - Change fsleep() to reflect reality - Rework all comments or users which obviously rely on the outdated documentation as they reference "Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst" - Update the outdated documentation and move it into a file with a self explaining file name (as there are no more references) - Remove checkpatch checks which also rely on the outdated documentation The queue is available here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/anna-maria/linux-devel.git timers/misc Signed-off-by: Anna-Maria Behnsen <anna-maria@linutronix.de> --- Changes in v3: - Add review remarks - Split checkpatch patch: 1. Remove links to outdated documentation, 2. Remove checks in checkpatch which rely on outdated documentation - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240911-devel-anna-maria-b4-timers-flseep-v2-0-b0d3f33ccfe0@linutronix.de Changes in v2: - change udelay() and ndelay() as suggested by Thomas - Update some formatting in the new sleep_timeout.c file - minor typo changes and other small review remarks Thanks, Anna-Maria --- Anna-Maria Behnsen (16): MAINTAINERS: Add missing file include/linux/delay.h timers: Move *sleep*() and timeout functions into a separate file timers: Update schedule_[hr]timeout*() related function descriptions timers: Rename usleep_idle_range() to usleep_range_idle() timers: Update function descriptions of sleep/delay related functions delay: Rework udelay and ndelay timers: Adjust flseep() to reflect reality mm/damon/core: Use generic upper bound recommondation for usleep_range() timers: Add a warning to usleep_range_state() for wrong order of arguments checkpatch: Remove links to outdated documentation regulator: core: Use fsleep() to get best sleep mechanism iopoll/regmap/phy/snd: Fix comment referencing outdated timer documentation powerpc/rtas: Use fsleep() to minimize additional sleep duration media: anysee: Fix and remove outdated comment timers/Documentation: Cleanup delay/sleep documentation checkpatch: Remove broken sleep/delay related checks Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst | 6 - Documentation/timers/delay_sleep_functions.rst | 121 ++++++++ Documentation/timers/index.rst | 2 +- Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst | 115 -------- MAINTAINERS | 2 + arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c | 21 +- drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/anysee.c | 17 +- drivers/regulator/core.c | 47 +-- include/asm-generic/delay.h | 96 +++++-- include/linux/delay.h | 79 ++++-- include/linux/iopoll.h | 52 ++-- include/linux/phy.h | 9 +- include/linux/regmap.h | 38 +-- kernel/time/Makefile | 2 +- kernel/time/hrtimer.c | 120 -------- kernel/time/sleep_timeout.c | 377 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/time/timer.c | 192 ------------- mm/damon/core.c | 5 +- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 38 --- sound/soc/sof/ops.h | 8 +- 20 files changed, 704 insertions(+), 643 deletions(-)
