Subject: [PATCH] fix msecs_to_jiffies() to not return values greater than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:38:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2120287.WTetKHanc4@donald.sf-tec.de> (raw)

The documentation of msecs_to_jiffies() says:

 * - negative values mean 'infinite timeout' (MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)
 *
 * - 'too large' values [that would result in larger than
 *   MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET values] mean 'infinite timeout' too.

But when you pass in e.g. MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET + 1000 for HZ = 1000 it will not
return MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, but the bigger value. This makes sure that the value
returned from this function can never be bigger than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET. Also
use DIV_ROUND_UP() in one place where that is open coded.
