Changes in v2:
- EDITME: describe what is new in this series revision.
- EDITME: use bulletpoints and terse descriptions.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241115-converge-secs-to-
jiffies-v1-0-19aadc34941b@linux.microsoft.com
that is not a proper changelog, you were supposed to edit those
placeholder entries; please look around for examples

There is also just too much recipients. Please split up your patches
into smaller pieces. You will also learn the process on a smaller
sample.

And definitively please wait for 48h before reposting such big series.
Yes, sorry, I sent out a v2 in a moment of panic on including the
already accepted patch in v1. I failed to edit the changelog in that
same panic. I'll try to not panic and do better in the future.
Regarding code - you could also convert msecs_to_jiffies(const * HZ),
there are 10 that are greppable.
Those seem to be mistakes. const*HZ is a seconds-denominated timeout,
being passed to msecs_to_jiffies() which will treat it as a
millisecond-denominated timeout resulting in an excessively long
timeout. I suppose that's better than a too-short timeout, and
apparently it's been working fine all along since hardware responds
before the too-long timeout expires. Half of them are in
drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c and the pattern has apparently been
there since 2010.

Thanks,
Easwar
