Within at24_loop_until_timeout the timestamp used for timeout checking is recorded after the I2C transfer and sleep_range(). Under high CPU load either the execution time for I2C transfer or sleep_range() could actually be larger than the timeout value. Worst case the I2C transfer is only tried once because the loop will exit due to the timeout although the EEPROM is now ready. To fix this issue the timestamp is recorded at the beginning of each iteration. That is, before I2C transfer and sleep. Then the timeout is actually checked against the timestamp of the previous iteration. This makes sure that even if the timeout is reached, there is still one more chance to try the I2C transfer in case the EEPROM is ready. Example: If you have a system which combines high CPU load with repeated EEPROM writes you will run into the following scenario. - System makes a successful regmap_bulk_write() to EEPROM. - System wants to perform another write to EEPROM but EEPROM is still busy with the last write. - Because of high CPU load the usleep_range() will sleep more than 25 ms (at24_write_timeout). - Within the over-long sleeping the EEPROM finished the previous write operation and is ready again. - at24_loop_until_timeout() will detect timeout and won't try to write.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
