SeongJae Park 5a960e533c timers: implement usleep_idle_range()
commit e4779015fd upstream.

Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3.

This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue.  The first patch
makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second
patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced
function.

This patch (of 2):

Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in
micro seconds level.  Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible
state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load.

To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range()
called usleep_idle_range().  It is same to usleep_range() but sets the
state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

README

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.
