[PATCH net-next] time: jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() helper to the rescue

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-09 07:14:04

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed
in clock_t units.

This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed
to jiffies_to_clock_t().

This function has an overflow in :

return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ);

commit cbbc719fccdb8cb (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type
to unsigned long) only got around the problem.

As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking
various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper
that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

That's correct for 64bit, but for 32bit you do the same for valid
timer values where expires < jiffies. So you might output 0 for valid
armed timers for quite a while around the point where jiffies are
close to the wrapping point.

Dunno if that's an issue, but it want's to be documented at least.

Thanks,
