efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to implement a polling timeout. The use of this function was chosen partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment with a macro that read the simulated time. Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd. If the system time is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a spurious failure. It is also possible for a backward adjustment to delay detection of a areal failure. Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in jiffies. Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish (or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
