4 Subject: clockevents: Retry programming min delta up to 10 times
5
6 Under virtualisation it is possible to get unexpected latency during a
7 clockevent device's set_next_event() callback which can make it return
8 -ETIME even for a delta based on min_delta_ns.
9
10 The clockevents_program_min_delta() implementation for
11 CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST=n doesn't handle retries when this
12 happens, nor does clockevents_program_event() or its callers when force
13 is true (for example hrtimer_reprogram()). This can result in hangs
14 until the clock event device does a full period.
15
16 It isn't appropriate to use MIN_ADJUST in this case as occasional
17 hypervisor induced high latency will cause min_delta_ns to quickly
18 increase to the maximum.
19 Instead, borrow the retry pattern from the MIN_ADJUST case, but without
20 making adjustments. We retry up to 10 times before giving up.
