VAS allocate, modify and deallocate HCALLs returns
H_LONG_BUSY_ORDER_1_MSEC or H_LONG_BUSY_ORDER_10_MSEC for busy
delay and expects OS to reissue HCALL after that delay. But using
msleep() will often sleep at least 20 msecs even though the
hypervisor suggests OS reissue these HCALLs after 1 or 10msecs.
The open and close VAS window functions hold mutex and then issue
these HCALLs. So these operations can take longer than the
necessary when multiple threads issue open or close window APIs
simultaneously, especially might affect the performance in the
case of repeat open/close APIs for each compression request.
Multiple tasks can open / close VAS windows at the same time
which depends on the available VAS credits. For example, 240
cores system provides 4800 VAS credits. It means 4800 tasks can
execute open VAS windows HCALLs with the mutex. Since each
msleep() will often sleep more than 20 msecs, some tasks are
waiting more than 120 secs to acquire mutex. It can cause hung
traces for these tasks in dmesg due to mutex contention around
open/close HCALLs.
Instead of msleep(), use usleep_range() to ensure sleep with
the expected value before issuing HCALL again. So since each
task sleep 10 msecs maximum, this patch allow more tasks can
issue open/close VAS calls without any hung traces in the
dmesg.
