Yes.... I think I developed this against 2.6.16 which has different naming
conventions, and then forward-parted to -current without giving too much
thought to the names.   seconds_since_boot() does sound better.

To be fair, I don't use that exactly.  I use

      some_monotonic_based_value - monotonic_seconds() + get_seconds()

to turn a monotonic_based value to a wallclock based value.
This makes sense to me - subtract the base I don't want, and add the base
that I do.

I guess you could wrap that in convert_to_wallclock and use getboottime
directly:

static inline time_t convert_to_wallclock(time_t sinceboot)
{
	struct timespec boot;
	getboottime(&boot);
	return sinceboot + boot.tv_sec;
}

Following is only compile tested.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

-------

Rename monotonic_seconds to seconds_since_boot

monotonic has a meaning in Linux timekeeping slight different to what we
use in sunrpc_cache, so change the name.

Also make the conversion from second_since_boot times to wallclock times less
obscure.
