cxlflash: Move to exponential back-off when cmd_room is not available
While profiling the cxlflash_queuecommand() path under a heavy load it was found that number of retries to find cmd_room was fairly high. There are two problems with the current back-off: a) It starts with a udelay of 0 b) It backs-off linearly Tried several approaches (a higher multiple 10*n, 100*n, as well as n^2, 2^n) and found that the exponential back-off(2^n) approach had the least overall cost. Cost as being defined as overall time spent waiting. The fix is to change the linear back-off to an exponential back-off. This solution also takes care of the problem with the initial delay (starts with 1 usec). Signed-off-by: NManoj N. Kumar <manoj@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NMatthew R.
