From b5c5c36d367c670b9a93b1029d9b3af8610d9535 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Himangi Saraogi Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:13:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] dn_dev: Use time_before The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values. A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch making this change is as follows: @change@ expression E1,E2; @@ ( - (jiffies - E1) < E2 + time_before(jiffies, E1+E2) ) Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: David S.
