The patch titled drivers/char/ds1286.c: use time_before, time_before_eq, etc has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-char-ds1286c-use-time_before-time_before_eq-etc.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: drivers/char/ds1286.c: use time_before, time_before_eq, etc 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> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/ds1286.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN drivers/char/ds1286.c~drivers-char-ds1286c-use-time_before-time_before_eq-etc drivers/char/ds1286.c --- a/drivers/char/ds1286.c~drivers-char-ds1286c-use-time_before-time_before_eq-etc +++ a/drivers/char/ds1286.c @@ -39,6 +39,7 @@ #include <linux/spinlock.h> #include <linux/bcd.h> #include <linux/proc_fs.h> +#include <linux/jiffies.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> #include <asm/system.h> @@ -451,7 +452,7 @@ static void ds1286_get_time(struct rtc_t */ if (ds1286_is_updating() != 0) - while (jiffies - uip_watchdog < 2*HZ/100) + while (time_before(jiffies, uip_watchdog + 2*HZ/100)) barrier(); /* _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from julia@xxxxxxx are origin.patch drivers-scsi-use-time_before-time_before_eq-etc.patch git-cryptodev.patch spi_s3c24xx-signedness-fix.patch fs-ext4-use-bug_on.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
