The nes infiniband driver uses current_kernel_time() to get a nanosecond
granunarity timestamp to initialize its tcp sequence counters. This is
one of only a few remaining users of that deprecated function, so we
should try to get rid of it.
Aside from using a deprecated API, there are several problems I see here:
- Using a CLOCK_REALTIME based time source makes it predictable in
case the time base is synchronized.
- Using a coarse timestamp means it only gets updated once per jiffie,
making it even more predictable in order to avoid having to access
the hardware clock source
- The upper 2 bits are always zero because the nanoseconds are at most
999999999.
For the Linux TCP implementation, we use secure_tcp_seq(), which appears
to be appropriate here as well, and solves all the above problems.
I'm doing the same change in both versions of the nes driver, with
i40iw being a later copy of the same code.

The above change is just a guess at what it should look like,
please review carefully and Ack/Nak as appropriate.
