[patch 08/37] uml: fix unreasonably long udelay

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 30 2007 - 17:21:11 EST


-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: "Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso" <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.

* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h

Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.

To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed - that's
why UML seems to work most times.
Fix this with a simple udelay implementation.
