The system always does an jiffies update automatically after idle wakeup. It's just that if you add code to the code path that uses jiffies you have to make sure it is after the standard update, otherwise you'll see a stale value. -Andi _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
