absolute value.

Hello all,
I think that the etime should not be increased.
In cases where delta_ns is negative, if you get time again after an
interrupt call, there is a problem that the time obtained from the
interrupt becomes the future time instead of the past time.
Please let me know if this patch is wrong.
It is wrong. The timestamp corresponds to the first active pixel of the
frame/field. So while between vblank start and active start we expect
to get a timestamp that is in the future.
A bit more strict, it's up to drivers when exactly the vblank interrupt
fires. Some fire at vblank start, some at the end, some somewhen around
that. The only rule is that the vblank must not fire before the point of
no return for another page_flip call, i.e. after the vblank event goes
out, the next page_flip (or atomic ioctl) must go to the next vblank.
So yeah both positive and negative deltas make perfect sense.

Thanks Ville and Daniel,
Your response has been really helpful.
Thanks so much.
