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 -u -p linux-2.6/sound/oss/pss.c linuxcopy/sound/oss/pss.c --- linux-2.6/sound/oss/pss.c 2006-11-30 19:05:48.000000000 +0100 +++ linuxcopy/sound/oss/pss.c 2007-12-26 15:59:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/spinlock.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include "sound_config.h" #include "sound_firmware.h" @@ -271,7 +272,7 @@ static int pss_reset_dsp(pss_confdata * unsigned long i, limit = jiffies + HZ/10; outw(0x2000, REG(PSS_CONTROL)); - for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (limit-jiffies >= 0); i++) + for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (time_before_eq(jiffies, limit)); i++) inw(REG(PSS_CONTROL)); outw(0x0000, REG(PSS_CONTROL)); return 1; @@ -371,11 +372,11 @@ static int pss_download_boot(pss_confdat outw(0, REG(PSS_DATA)); limit = jiffies + HZ/10; - for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (limit - jiffies >= 0); i++) + for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (time_before_eq(jiffies, limit)); i++) val = inw(REG(PSS_STATUS)); limit = jiffies + HZ/10; - for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (limit-jiffies >= 0); i++) + for (i = 0; i < 32768 && (time_before_eq(jiffies, limit)); i++) { val = inw(REG(PSS_STATUS)); if (val & 0x4000) diff -u -p linux-2.6/sound/oss/sb_common.c linuxcopy/sound/oss/sb_common.c --- linux-2.6/sound/oss/sb_common.c 2007-02-09 17:34:30.000000000 +0100 +++ linuxcopy/sound/oss/sb_common.c 2007-12-26 15:59:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/delay.h> #include <linux/spinlock.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include "sound_config.h" #include "sound_firmware.h" @@ -97,7 +98,7 @@ int sb_dsp_command(sb_devc * devc, unsig * loops. */ - for (i = 0; i < 500000 && (limit-jiffies)>0; i++) + for (i = 0; i < 500000 && time_before(jiffies, limit); i++) { if ((inb(DSP_STATUS) & 0x80) == 0) { - 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
