From db0ccffed91e234cad99a35f07d5a322f410baa2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 23:22:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET] link_watch: Eliminate potential delay on wrap-around When the jiffies wrap around or when the system boots up for the first time, down events can be delayed indefinitely since we no longer update linkwatch_nextevent when only urgent events are processed. This patch fixes this by setting linkwatch_nextevent when a wrap-around occurs. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
