The vivid driver is a bit flaky w.r.t. the kthread timing, esp. when running inside a virtual machine. This is caused by calling schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) which can actually take more than one jiffie. A while loop with schedule() turns out to be a lot more precise. Also, if mutex_trylock() fails, then just call schedule() instead of schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1). There is no need to wait until the next jiffer, just schedule(), then try to get the lock again. This is still not precise enough, it is still relatively easy to get missed frames. This really should be converted to use a proper timer, but for now this solves the worst problems.

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.
