[PATCH v1 0/2] rust: Add read_poll_timeout
From: FUJITA Tomonori
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 00:12:02 EST
Add a helper function to poll periodically until a condition is met or
a timeout is reached.
This patch was previously reviewed as part of another patchset [1] but
was removed to expedite merging into the mainline. Now that all the
features it depends on have been merged into the mainline, it is being
reposted as a new independent patchset.
I put this function kernel/time/poll.rs. If we follow the C
implementation, it might go under kernel/iopoll, but since this
function is not necessarily related to I/O, I think it is more
appropriate to maintain it as part of the timekeeping abstraction.
As Andreas pointed out [3], the test to call this function in an
atomic context doesn't work nicely; we can see might_sleep() throws a
warning in an atomic context. If such cases cannot be caught by the
test infra, it would be better to either remove the test or change it
to norun with a TODO, I think. Also, it might be better to move it
next to might_sleep() if we keep it.
After we agree on this patchset, I'll work on
read_poll_timeout_atomic().
v1 (the changes since the last posting [2])
- removed might_sleep() change since it was already merged separately.
- split out cpu_relax() in a separate patch
- make the example code compilable
- update the code to use Clocksource (MONOTONIC)
- call might_sleep() always (even when the function doesn't sleep)
- cosmetic changes to the doc
