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/drivers/media/video/c-qcam.c b/drivers/media/video/c-qcam.c --- a/drivers/media/video/c-qcam.c 2007-11-01 10:30:39.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/media/video/c-qcam.c 2007-12-23 20:36:52.000000000 +0100 @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ #include <linux/videodev.h> #include <media/v4l2-common.h> #include <linux/mutex.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> @@ -95,7 +96,8 @@ static unsigned int qcam_await_ready1(st unsigned long oldjiffies = jiffies; unsigned int i; - for (oldjiffies = jiffies; (jiffies - oldjiffies) < msecs_to_jiffies(40); ) + for (oldjiffies = jiffies; + time_before(jiffies, oldjiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(40)); ) if (qcam_ready1(qcam) == value) return 0; @@ -120,7 +122,8 @@ static unsigned int qcam_await_ready2(st unsigned long oldjiffies = jiffies; unsigned int i; - for (oldjiffies = jiffies; (jiffies - oldjiffies) < msecs_to_jiffies(40); ) + for (oldjiffies = jiffies; + time_before(jiffies, oldjiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(40)); ) if (qcam_ready2(qcam) == value) return 0; diff -r -u -p a/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-fileops.c b/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-fileops.c --- a/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-fileops.c 2007-11-01 10:30:39.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-fileops.c 2007-12-23 20:37:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -219,7 +219,9 @@ static struct ivtv_buffer *ivtv_get_buff /* Process pending program info updates and pending VBI data */ ivtv_update_pgm_info(itv); - if (jiffies - itv->dualwatch_jiffies > msecs_to_jiffies(1000)) { + if (time_after(jiffies, + itv->dualwatch_jiffies + + msecs_to_jiffies(1000))) { itv->dualwatch_jiffies = jiffies; ivtv_dualwatch(itv); } diff -r -u -p a/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-mailbox.c b/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-mailbox.c --- a/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-mailbox.c 2007-10-22 11:25:10.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-mailbox.c 2007-12-23 20:37:40.000000000 +0100 @@ -177,7 +177,8 @@ static int get_mailbox(struct ivtv *itv, /* Sleep before a retry, if not atomic */ if (!(flags & API_NO_WAIT_MB)) { - if (jiffies - then > msecs_to_jiffies(10*retries)) + if (time_after(jiffies, + then + msecs_to_jiffies(10*retries))) break; ivtv_msleep_timeout(10, 0); } @@ -244,7 +245,9 @@ static int ivtv_api_call(struct ivtv *it data, then just return 0 as there is no need to issue this command again.
