[PATCH net 5/6] rxrpc: Fix resend event time calculation

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Date: 2018-03-27 22:44:45
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], rxrpc sockets (af_rxrpc), the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Howells, Marc Dionne, Linus Torvalds

From: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com>

Commit a158bdd3 ("rxrpc: Fix call timeouts") reworked the time calculation
for the next resend event.  For this calculation, "oldest" will be before
"now", so ktime_sub(oldest, now) will yield a negative value.  When passed
to nsecs_to_jiffies which expects an unsigned value, the end result will be
a very large value, and a resend event scheduled far into the future.  This
could cause calls to stall if some packets were lost.

Fix by ordering the arguments to ktime_sub correctly.
