Use div64_s64, which expects a signed dividend.Eh, IIRC, signed vs unsigned division has implications for rounding towards zero or not, but I doubt that the round trip time average (RTT avg) should ever be negative. General rule of thumb for C is to keep arithmetic signed (even when working with non zero values), so rather than make the literal (6666) a unsigned long, I agree with your change to keep the division signed as well. Thanks for the fix. Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <redacted>
Thanks for the patch and for the review. I've applied this to our internal tree and it will be sent upstreaming following our normal upstreaming process. -- Cheers, Luca.
