[PATCH 2/2] drivers: libata-core: Use usleep_range() instead of msleep() for short sleeps (<20 ms)

From: Daniel Walker <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-08 05:31:32
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: libata subsystem (serial and parallel ata drivers), the rest · Maintainers: Damien Le Moal, Niklas Cassel, Linus Torvalds

From: Anil Veliyankara Madam <redacted>

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.
