This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx4_en: fix overflow in mlx4_en_init_timestamp() to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mlx4_en-fix-overflow-in-mlx4_en_init_timestamp.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 19 15:04:02 CEST 2017 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2017 15:22:43 -0800 Subject: net/mlx4_en: fix overflow in mlx4_en_init_timestamp() From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 47d3a07528ecbbccf53bc4390d70b4e3d1c04fcf ] The cited commit makes a great job of finding optimal shift/multiplier values assuming a 10 seconds wrap around, but forgot to change the overflow_period computation. It overflows in cyclecounter_cyc2ns(), and the final result is 804 ms, which is silly. Lets simply use 5 seconds, no need to recompute this, given how it is supposed to work. Later, we will use a timer instead of a work queue, since the new RX allocation schem will no longer need mlx4_en_recover_from_oom() and the service_task firing every 250 ms.
