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