When running on a Cherryview, or on a Broxton with VTD enabled, pinning of
a VMA to GGTT is now committed asynchronously to avoid lock inversion
among reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks, the latter acquired from
stop_machine(). That may defer further processing of resources that
depend on that VMA. As a consequence, a 10ms delay in a multithreaded
migrate test case may occur too short and still incomplete threads may be
interrupted, and the test case may fail with -ERESTARTSYS or -EINTR error
code returned by any of those threads.
Extend the delay to empirically determined 100ms on affected platforms.
v3: Add an in-line comment that explains why 100ms (Andi).
v2: Fix spelling (Sebastian, Krzysztof),
- explain why VMA pinning is commited asynchronously on CHV/BXT+VTD
(Krzysztof).

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 reStructuredText 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.
