Jeff, if a 10ms maximum delay is still acceptable to you, then please
pull from the bcm43xx branch of wireless-2.6 into the upstream branch
of netdev-2.6.
Just to be clear, 'upstream' not 'upstream-fixes', correct?
P.S. FWIW, I'm still not totally happy w/ the (potential for a)
long busy wait. But, this series of patches makes things better by
100x over what is currently in the tree. So, it seems worthwhile.
I'll keep further reductions as an item on my TODO list, FWIW... :-)
Agreed. And there are some existing busy-waits that (1) _obviously_
need to be converted to mdelay(), and (2) eventually need to be
converted to msleep().
Overall, the Linux kernel community consensus is that long synchronous
delays spinning the CPU should be avoided.
