From: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.
A simplified version of the semantic patch making this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @ change_compare_np @ expression E; @@ ( - jiffies <= E + time_before_eq(jiffies,E) | - jiffies >= E + time_after_eq(jiffies,E) | - jiffies < E + time_before(jiffies,E) | - jiffies > E + time_after(jiffies,E) ) @ include depends on change_compare_np @ @@ #include <linux/jiffies.h> @ no_include depends on !include && change_compare_np @ @@ #include <linux/...> + #include <linux/jiffies.h> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- diff -r -u -p a/drivers/char/keyboard.c b/drivers/char/keyboard.c --- a/drivers/char/keyboard.c 2007-10-22 11:25:05.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/char/keyboard.c 2007-12-23 20:35:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ #include <linux/input.h> #include <linux/reboot.h> #include <linux/notifier.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> extern void ctrl_alt_del(void); @@ -929,7 +930,8 @@ static void k_brl(struct vc_data *vc, un if (up_flag) { if (brl_timeout) { if (!committing || - jiffies - releasestart > (brl_timeout * HZ) / 1000) { + time_after(jiffies, + releasestart + (brl_timeout*HZ)/1000)) { committing = pressed; releasestart = jiffies; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
