The patch titled arch/ia64/kernel/: use time_* macros has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: arch/ia64/kernel/: use time_* macros From: S.Caglar Onur <caglar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values. So use the time_after() & time_before() macros, defined at linux/jiffies.h, which deal with wrapping correctly [akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: S.Caglar Onur <caglar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c | 2 +- arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c | 4 +++- arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c --- a/arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros +++ a/arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c @@ -472,7 +472,7 @@ ia64_handle_irq (ia64_vector vector, str static unsigned char count; static long last_time; - if (jiffies - last_time > 5*HZ) + if (time_after(jiffies, last_time + 5 * HZ)) count = 0; if (++count < 5) { last_time = jiffies; diff -puN arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c --- a/arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros +++ a/arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c @@ -69,6 +69,7 @@ * 2007-04-27 Russ Anderson <rja@xxxxxxx> * Support multiple cpus going through OS_MCA in the same event. */ +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include <linux/types.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/sched.h> @@ -293,7 +294,8 @@ static void ia64_mlogbuf_dump_from_init( if (mlogbuf_finished) return; - if (mlogbuf_timestamp && (mlogbuf_timestamp + 30*HZ > jiffies)) { + if (mlogbuf_timestamp && + time_before(jiffies, mlogbuf_timestamp + 30 * HZ)) { printk(KERN_ERR "INIT: mlogbuf_dump is interrupted by INIT " " and the system seems to be messed up.\n"); ia64_mlogbuf_finish(0); diff -puN arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c --- a/arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c~arch-ia64-kernel-use-time_-macros +++ a/arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ * 2001/08/13 Correct size of extended floats (float_fsz) from 16 to 10 bytes. * 2001/01/17 Add support emulation of unaligned kernel accesses. */ +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/sched.h> #include <linux/tty.h> @@ -1290,7 +1291,7 @@ within_logging_rate_limit (void) { static unsigned long count, last_time; - if (jiffies - last_time > 5*HZ) + if (time_after(jiffies, last_time + 5 * HZ)) count = 0; if (count < 5) { last_time = jiffies; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from caglar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx are git-powerpc.patch git-ia64.patch git-net.patch arch-parisc-kernel-unalignedc-use-time_-macros.patch fix-indentation.patch arch-alpha-kernel-trapsc-use-time_-macros.patch arch-alpha-kernel-trapsc-use-time_-macros-fix.patch fs-binfmt_aoutc-use-printk_ratelimit.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
