Re: [patch] pktgen: bug when calling ndelay in x86 architectures

Well, I am not sure a patch is needed for net, since there is no bug,
but maybe small inaccuracies ? Correct me if I misunderstood Daniel !

Ok that appears to be the case, so this is not something we should
deal with in the 'net' tree.

The constant ndelay() case would purposely cause a build failure for
values larger than 40000, but the specific call site we are discussing
in pktgen is never constant and therefore should would never trigger
that bug check.

Eric, could you please formally submit this patch with proper
changelog etc.?

Sure !

[PATCH net-next] pktgen: remove ndelay() call

Applied, thanks!
