sets off alarm bells, and I would always replace that with msleep().
I think that it does not replace with msleep().
When the time of sleep is very short, program should not been scheduled
in the context. Because it expends the more time.
A time measured in miliseconds is never "very short" for the scheduler,
a lot of things can happen during that time span. The code I quoted
also does not care too much about accuracy, otherwise it would adapt
the time in the mdelay based on whether the cond_resched() actually
schedules to another thread.
