Hi,

As far as I can tell these drivers will not suffer unduly from my change. Worse case they will delay 20us more, which is listed as the max.
Also note that I assume the reason you flagged these is because they follow the pattern:
if (sleep_val < 20000) usleep_range(sleep_val, 20000); else msleep_interruptible(sleep_val/1000);
I will note that usleep_range() is and has always been uninterruptible, since the implementation says:
void __sched usleep_range(unsigned long min, unsigned long max) { __set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); do_usleep_range(min, max); }
So I'm not at all convinced that we are changing behavior here. The "interruptible" vs. "uninterruptible" affects whether signals can interrupt the sleep, not whether a random wake up of a task can. What we really need to know is if they are affected by a wakeup.

I assume that the person who wrote this code was confused since they wrote:
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); /* Now sleep between a min of 100-300us and a max of 1ms */ usleep_range(((data->cnt % 3) + 1) * 100, 1000);
That doesn't seem to make sense given the first line of usleep_range().
In any case, again I don't think I am changing behavior.

This could be a useful function, but I don't think we need it if we find someone who needs a wakeup to cut short a sleep. We can just call one of the schedule functions directly and use a timeout.
Thank you for searching through for stuff and for your review, though!
