NAME

       sata_link_debounce - debounce SATA phy status

SYNOPSIS

       int sata_link_debounce(struct ata_link * link, const unsigned long * params, unsigned long deadline);

ARGUMENTS

       link
	   ATA link to debounce SATA phy status for

       params
	   timing parameters { interval, duratinon, timeout } in msec

       deadline
	   deadline jiffies for the operation

DESCRIPTION

       Make sure SStatus of link reaches stable state, determined by holding the same value where DET is not 1 for duration polled every interval,
       before timeout. Timeout constraints the beginning of the stable state. Because DET gets stuck at 1 on some controllers after hot
       unplugging, this functions waits until timeout then returns 0 if DET is stable at 1.

       timeout is further limited by deadline. The sooner of the two is used.

LOCKING

       Kernel thread context (may sleep)

RETURNS

       0 on success, -errno on failure.

NAME

       Mail::SpamAssassin::Timeout - safe, reliable timeouts in perl

SYNOPSIS

	   # non-timeout code...

	   my $t = Mail::SpamAssassin::Timeout->new({ secs => 5, deadline => $when });

	   $t->run(sub {
	       # code to run with a 5-second timeout...
	   });

	   if ($t->timed_out()) {
	       # do something...
	   }

	   # more non-timeout code...

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a safe, reliable and clean API to provide alarm(2)-based timeouts for perl code.

       Note that $SIG{ALRM} is used to provide the timeout, so this will not interrupt out-of-control regular expression matches.

       Nested timeouts are supported.

PUBLIC METHODS

       my $t = Mail::SpamAssassin::Timeout->new({ ... options ... });
	   Constructor.  Options include:

	   secs => $seconds
	       time interval, in seconds. Optional; if neither "secs" nor "deadline" is specified, no timeouts will be applied.

	   deadline => $unix_timestamp
	       Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when a timeout is reached in the latest.  Optional; if neither secs nor deadline is specified,
	       no timeouts will be applied. If both are specified, the shorter interval of the two prevails.

       $t->run($coderef)
	   Run a code reference within the currently-defined timeout.

	   The timeout is as defined by the secs and deadline parameters to the constructor.

	   Returns whatever the subroutine returns, or "undef" on timeout.  If the timer times out, "$t-<gt"timed_out()> will return 1.

	   Time elapsed is not cumulative; multiple runs of "run" will restart the timeout from scratch. On the other hand, nested timers do
	   observe outer timeouts if they are shorter, resignalling a timeout to the level which established them, i.e. code running under an
	   inner timer can not exceed the time limit established by an outer timer. When restarting an outer timer on return, elapsed time of a
	   running code is taken into account.

       $t->run_and_catch($coderef)
	   Run a code reference, as per "$t-<gt"run()>, but also catching any "die()" calls within the code reference.

	   Returns "undef" if no "die()" call was executed and $@ was unset, or the value of $@ if it was set.	(The timeout event doesn't count
	   as a "die()".)

       $t->timed_out()
	   Returns 1 if the most recent code executed in "run()" timed out, or "undef" if it did not.

       $t->reset()
	   If called within a "run()" code reference, causes the current alarm timer to be restored to its original setting (useful after our
	   alarm setting was clobbered by some underlying module).
