Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] iopoll: Busy loop and timeout improvements + conversions

	Hi all,

When implementing a polling loop, a common review comment is to use one
of the read*_poll_timeout*() helpers.  Unfortunately this is not always
possible, or might introduce subtle bugs.  This patch series aims to
improve these helpers, so they can gain wider use.

  1. The first patch improves busy-looping behavior of both the atomic
     and non-atomic read*_poll_timeout*() helpers.
     The issue addressed by this patch was discussed before[1-2], but I
     am not aware of any patches moving forward.

  2. The second patch fixes timeout handling of the atomic variants.
     Some of the issues addressed by this patch were mitigated in
     various places[3-5], and some of these findings may be of interest
     to the authors of [6-8].

The first two patches were sent before, and already received some acks
and reviews.  I plan to queue these in an immutable and tagged branch
after the weekend, for consumption by myself, and by other interested
parties.

The last five patches are new, and convert several Renesas-specific
drivers from open-coded loops to the fixed read*_poll_timeout_atomic()
helpers:
  - I plan to queue the clk and soc patches in renesas-devel resp.
    renesas-clk for v6.5,
  - The IOMMU patch can wait for v6.6, unless the IOMMU maintainers
    already want to merge the immutable branch, too.

Thanks for your comments!

Changes compared to v2[9]:
  - Add Acked-by, Reviewed-by,
  - Add comment about not using timekeeping, and its impact,
  - Add conversion patches 3-7.

Changes compared to v1[10]:
  - Add Acked-by,
  - Add compiler barrier and inlining explanation (thanks, Peter!),
  - Add patch [2/2].

Thanks for your comments!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
