From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> 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 <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -r -u -p a/arch/parisc/kernel/unaligned.c b/arch/parisc/kernel/unaligned.c --- a/arch/parisc/kernel/unaligned.c 2007-10-22 11:24:58.000000000 +0200 +++ b/arch/parisc/kernel/unaligned.c 2007-12-23 20:33:36.000000000 +0100 @@ -460,7 +460,8 @@ void handle_unaligned(struct pt_regs *re goto force_sigbus; } - if (unaligned_count > 5 && jiffies - last_time > 5*HZ) { + if (unaligned_count > 5 && + time_after(jiffies, last_time + 5*HZ)) { unaligned_count = 0; last_time = jiffies; } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
