Ping. Is there anything that still needs to be changed for this driver to be acceptable?It is on my radar. I'm reviewing it. Can you elaborate the workaround mentioned in the changelog. I have been digging into the lkml@ thread but it is not clear if the issue is related to the time framework, the driver itself or whatever else. Can you clarify that ?Do you have comments on any remaining issues other than this workaround? If not I don't mind removing the workaround and trying to solve the issue separately later. Let me know and either way I'll submit a v8.One question of interest to me is whether this patchset prevents the RCU CPU stall warnings that you are seeing.
With the 5ms minimum delta, I didn't observe any rcu_sched stall warnings. At 2.5ms I thought it was gone but eventually saw one. With the previous mindelta = 1, i.e. 1 hardware bus period, I get the stalls regularly.
