[patch 08/16] net/gt96100eth: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep()

From: <hidden>
Date: 2004-09-01 21:03:15






I would appreciate any comments from the janitor@sternweltens list. This is one (of
many) cases where I made a decision about replacing

set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_timeout(some_time);

with

msleep(jiffies_to_msecs(some_time));

msleep() is not exactly the same as the previous code, but I only did
this replacement where I thought long delays were *desired*. If this is
not the case here, then just disregard this patch. 

Thanks,
Nish

PS. In this patch, the last delay is a bit confusing. It, in code,
delayed for 1 msec, but the comment said 20 msecs, does anyone know
which it should be?



Description: Replace gt96100_delay() with msleep() to guarantee the
task delays for the desired time. Remove the definition of
gt96100_delay().
