[PATCH v3 1/3] clocksource/vt8500: Increase the minimum delta
From: Roman Volkov <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-01 13:31:16
Also in:
lkml
Subsystem:

From: Roman Volkov <redacted>
The vt8500 clocksource driver declares itself as capable to handle the
minimum delay of 4 cycles by passing the value into
clockevents_config_and_register(). The vt8500_timer_set_next_event()
requires the passed cycles value to be at least 16. The impact is that
userspace hangs in nanosleep() calls with small delay intervals.
This problem is reproducible in Linux 4.2 starting from:
c6eb3f70d448 ('hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq')
