    f2fs: introduce DEFAULT_IO_TIMEOUT · 5df7731f
    Chao Yu authored
    As Geert Uytterhoeven reported:
    
    for parameter HZ/50 in congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/50);
    
    On some platforms, HZ can be less than 50, then unexpected 0 timeout
    jiffies will be set in congestion_wait().
    
    This patch introduces a macro DEFAULT_IO_TIMEOUT to wrap a determinate
    value with msecs_to_jiffies(20) to instead HZ/50 to avoid such issue.
    
    Quoted from Geert Uytterhoeven:
    
    "A timeout of HZ means 1 second.
    HZ/50 means 20 ms, but has the risk of being zero, if HZ < 50.
    
    If you want to use a timeout of 20 ms, you best use msecs_to_jiffies(20),
    as that takes care of the special cases, and never returns 0."
