from drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c (line 289):
/* restart timer */
if ((int)(hc->keep_tl.expires-jiffies) < 5*HZ) {
del_timer(&hc->keep_tl);
hc->keep_tl.expires = jiffies + L1OIP_KEEPALIVE*HZ;
add_timer(&hc->keep_tl);
} else
hc->keep_tl.expires = jiffies + L1OIP_KEEPALIVE*HZ;
huh? in the first place, whenever i see a combination of
del_timer()/change value/add_timer(), i normally assume that can be
replaced with a single call to mod_timer().
i don't understand the else clause -- i wasn't aware that you could
simply change the expires value of a timer and have that mean
anything. can someone clue me in on what's happening there? thanks.
