From: Nishanth Aravamudan Subject: [KJ] [UPDATE PATCH] net/slip: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep() Use msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task delays as expected. While the original code does use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, it does not check for signals, so I believe msleep() is more appropriate.
