  From: bayi cheng <bayi.cheng@mediatek.com>

The timeout value of the current dma read is unreasonable. For example,
If the spi flash clock is 26Mhz, It will takes about 1.3ms to read a
4KB data in spi mode. But the actual measurement exceeds 50s when a
dma read timeout is encountered.

In order to be more accurately, It is necessary to use msecs_to_jiffies,
After modification, the measured timeout value is about 130ms.

You're giving a `size_t` variable to msecs_to_jiffies(), but checking `jiffies.h`,
this function takes a `const unsigned int` param.
Please change the type to match that.

Aside from that, your `timeout` variable contains a timeout in microseconds and
this means that actually using msecs_to_jiffies() is suboptimal here.

Please use usecs_to_jiffies() instead.

Regards,
Angelo

The type shouldn't matter at all.
What matters is the domain of the value.

Quite why you need to use max_t(size_t, ...) is another matter.
timeout is ulong so max(timeout/1000, 10ul) should be fine.

But is ulong even right?
The domain of the value is almost certainly the same on 32bit and 64bit.
So you almost certainly need u32 or u64.

Hi David & Angelo

Thank you for your comments!
To sum up, I think the next version will make the following two
changes:
1, The timeout value will not exceed u32, so the type of timeout will
be changed from ulong to u32.
2, Change msecs_to_jiffies(max_t(size_t, timeout / 1000, 10)) to be
msecs_to_jiffies(max(timeout/1000, 10ul)).

If you think these changes are not enough, please let me know, Thanks!

Bayi

Hi Angelo, Hi David,

Just a gentle ping on this.
Could you please review this patch and give us some suggestion?

PS: With your permission, I will make the following changes in the next
version:

Change in v2:
  -Change the type of "timeout" from ulong to u32.
  -Replace max_t with max.


Thanks.

I still recommend to use usecs_to_jiffies() when appropriate, instead of
converting usecs to msecs and using msecs_to_jiffies().

As for the rest in your list: yes, please.
