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/md/raid6algos.c b/drivers/md/raid6algos.c --- a/drivers/md/raid6algos.c 2007-11-01 10:30:39.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/md/raid6algos.c 2007-12-23 20:36:20.000000000 +0100 @@ -121,7 +121,8 @@ int __init raid6_select_algo(void) j0 = jiffies; while ( (j1 = jiffies) == j0 ) cpu_relax(); - while ( (jiffies-j1) < (1 << RAID6_TIME_JIFFIES_LG2) ) { + while ( time_before(jiffies, + j1 + (1<<RAID6_TIME_JIFFIES_LG2)) ) { (*algo)->gen_syndrome(disks, PAGE_SIZE, dptrs); perf++; } -- 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/
