There seems to be some misunderstanding that udelay() and friends will always guarantee the specified delay. This is a false understanding. When udelay() is based on CPU cycles, it can return early for many reasons which are detailed by Linus' reply to me in a thread in 2011: http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2011/01/12/372 However, a udelay test module was created in 2014 which allows udelay() to only be 0.5% fast, which is outside of the CPU-cycles udelay() results I measured back in 2011, which were deemed to be in the "we don't care" region. test_udelay() should be fixed to reflect the real allowable tolerance on udelay(), rather than 0.5%.
