From 72d0d8a5d651794db90e1f6d7f6c491090b9bdb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Oros Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 17:16:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 15/78] net: ena: fix uses of round_jiffies() Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1861967 Upstream commit(s): commit 2a6e5fa2f4c25b66c763428a3e65363214946931 Author: Arthur Kiyanovski Date: Tue Feb 11 15:17:41 2020 +0000 net: ena: fix uses of round_jiffies() >From the documentation of round_jiffies(): "Rounds a time delta in the future (in jiffies) up or down to (approximately) full seconds. This is useful for timers for which the exact time they fire does not matter too much, as long as they fire approximately every X seconds. By rounding these timers to whole seconds, all such timers will fire at the same time, rather than at various times spread out. The goal of this is to have the CPU wake up less, which saves power." There are 2 parts to this patch: ================================ Part 1: ------- In our case we need timer_service to be called approximately every X=1 seconds, and the exact time does not matter, so using round_jiffies() is the right way to go. Therefore we add round_jiffies() to the mod_timer() in ena_timer_service(). Part 2: ------- round_jiffies() is used in check_for_missing_keep_alive() when getting the jiffies of the expiration of the keep_alive timeout. Here it is actually a mistake to use round_jiffies() because we want the exact time when keep_alive should expire and not an approximate rounded time, which can cause early, false positive, timeouts. Therefore we remove round_jiffies() in the calculation of keep_alive_expired() in check_for_missing_keep_alive().
