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.
Fixes: 31c128b66e5b ("net/mlx4_en: Choose time-stamping shift value according to HW frequency")
