read_poll_timeout_atomic() uses ktime_get() to implement the timeout
feature, just like its non-atomic counterpart. However, there are
several issues with this, due to its use in atomic contexts:
1. When called in the s2ram path (as typically done by clock or PM
domain drivers), timekeeping may be suspended, triggering the
WARN_ON(timekeeping_suspended) in ktime_get():
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 654 at kernel/time/timekeeping.c:843 ktime_get+0x28/0x78
Calling ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() instead of ktime_get() would get
rid of that warning. However, that would break timeout handling,
as (at least on systems with an ARM architectured timer), the time
returned by ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() does not advance while
timekeeping is suspended.
Interestingly, (on the same ARM systems) the time returned by
ktime_get() does advance while timekeeping is suspended, despite
the warning.
2. Depending on the actual clock source, and especially before a
high-resolution clocksource (e.g. the ARM architectured timer)
becomes available, time may not advance in atomic contexts, thus
breaking timeout handling.
Fix this by abandoning the idea that one can rely on timekeeping to
implement timeout handling in all atomic contexts, and switch from a
global time-based to a locally-estimated timeout handling. In most
(all?) cases the timeout condition is exceptional and an error
condition, hence any additional delays due to underestimating wall clock
time are irrelevant.

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.
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.
