3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit abcbcb80cd09cd40f2089d912764e315459b71f7 upstream. For the common cases where 1000 is a multiple of HZ, or HZ is a multiple of 1000, jiffies_to_msecs() never returns zero when passed a non-zero time period. However, if HZ > 1000 and not an integer multiple of 1000 (e.g. 1024 or 1200, as used on alpha and DECstation), jiffies_to_msecs() may return zero for small non-zero time periods. This may break code that relies on receiving back a non-zero value. jiffies_to_usecs() does not need such a fix: one jiffy can only be less than one µs if HZ > 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already rejected at build time, twice: - include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ >= 12288, - kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ > USEC_PER_SEC). Broken since forever.
