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/drivers/scsi/u14-34f.c linuxcopy/drivers/scsi/u14-34f.c --- linux-2.6/drivers/scsi/u14-34f.c 2007-10-22 11:25:24.000000000 +0200 +++ linuxcopy/drivers/scsi/u14-34f.c 2007-12-26 16:09:12.000000000 +0100 @@ -420,6 +420,7 @@ #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/ctype.h> #include <linux/spinlock.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include <asm/dma.h> #include <asm/irq.h> @@ -745,7 +746,8 @@ static int wait_on_busy(unsigned long io static int board_inquiry(unsigned int j) { struct mscp *cpp; dma_addr_t id_dma_addr; - unsigned int time, limit = 0; + unsigned long time; + unsigned int limit = 0; id_dma_addr = pci_map_single(HD(j)->pdev, HD(j)->board_id, sizeof(HD(j)->board_id), PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL); @@ -778,7 +780,7 @@ static int board_inquiry(unsigned int j) spin_unlock_irq(&driver_lock); time = jiffies; - while ((jiffies - time) < HZ && limit++ < 20000) udelay(100L); + while (time_before(jiffies, time + HZ) && limit++ < 20000) udelay(100L); spin_lock_irq(&driver_lock); if (cpp->adapter_status || HD(j)->cp_stat[0] != FREE) { @@ -1393,7 +1395,8 @@ static int u14_34f_eh_abort(struct scsi_ } static int u14_34f_eh_host_reset(struct scsi_cmnd *SCarg) { - unsigned int i, j, time, k, c, limit = 0; + unsigned long time; + unsigned int i, j, k, c, limit = 0; int arg_done = FALSE; struct scsi_cmnd *SCpnt; @@ -1479,7 +1482,8 @@ static int u14_34f_eh_host_reset(struct spin_unlock_irq(sh[j]->host_lock); time = jiffies; - while ((jiffies - time) < (10 * HZ) && limit++ < 200000) udelay(100L); + while (time_before(jiffies, time + 10 * HZ) && limit++ < 200000) + udelay(100L); spin_lock_irq(sh[j]->host_lock); printk("%s: reset, interrupts disabled, loops %d.\n", BN(j), limit); - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
