Subject: [PATCH RESEND] net: ipv4: Fix truncated timestamp returned by inet_current_timestamp()
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:21:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458609686-7435-1-git-send-email-deepa.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
The millisecond timestamps returned by the function is
converted to network byte order by making a call to htons().
htons() only returns __be16 while __be32 is required here.
This was identified by the sparse warning from the buildbot:
net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1405:16: sparse: incorrect type in return
expression (different base types)
net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1405:16: expected restricted __be32
net/ipv4/af_inet.c:1405:16: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident>
Change the function to use htonl() to return the correct __be32 type
instead so that the millisecond value doesn't get truncated.
