From b7b20df91d43d5e59578b8fc16e895c0c8cbd9b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hidetoshi Seto Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:49:27 +0900 Subject: sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies() Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some problems: - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days. - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument is set, assuming that input was negative value. So it cannot convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too. This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as unsigned.
