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/serial/68360serial.c b/drivers/serial/68360serial.c --- a/drivers/serial/68360serial.c 2007-07-20 17:45:57.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/serial/68360serial.c 2007-12-23 20:30:39.000000000 +0100 @@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ extern int kgdb_output_string (const ch /* #ifdef CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE */ /* This seems to be a post 2.0 thing - mles */ #include <linux/console.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> /* this defines the index into rs_table for the port to use */ @@ -1729,7 +1730,7 @@ static void rs_360_wait_until_sent(struc msleep_interruptible(jiffies_to_msecs(char_time)); if (signal_pending(current)) break; - if (timeout && ((orig_jiffies + timeout) < jiffies)) + if (timeout && (time_after(jiffies, orig_jiffies + timeout))) break; /* The 'tx_cur' is really the next buffer to send.
