Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched/nohz: fix overflow error in scheduler_tick_max_deferment()
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:23:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387315388-31676-2-git-send-email-khilman@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387315388-31676-1-git-send-email-khilman@linaro.org>
The conversion of the max deferment from usecs to nsecs can easily
overflow on platforms where a long is 32-bits. To fix, cast the usecs
value to u64 before multiplying by NSECS_PER_USEC.
This was discovered on 32-bit ARM platform when extending the max
deferment value.
