> commit c48f350ff5e7 "bnx2x: Add MFW dump support" added the > bnx2x_update_mfw_dump() function that reads the current time and stores > it in a 32-bit field that gets passed into a buffer in a fixed format. > > This is potentially broken when the epoch overflows in 2038, and > otherwise overflows in 2106. As we're trying to avoid uses of > struct timeval for this reason, I noticed the addition of this > function, and tried to rewrite it in a way that is more explicit > about the overflow and that will keep working once we deprecate > struct timeval. > > I assume that it is not possible to change the ABI any more, otherwise > we should try to use a 64-bit field for the seconds right away. > > Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de> Applied, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
