[PATCH 1/2] jiffies: Define secs_to_jiffies()

[Easwar Hariharan]

There are ~500 usages of msecs_to_jiffies() that either use a multiplier
value of 1000 or equivalently MSEC_PER_SEC. Define secs_to_jiffies() to
allow such code to be less clunky.

Sorry, I should have combined distribution lists for the two patches, so
everyone received both patches. Combining the lists with this email.

Here's the lore link for the series:

Thanks,

Can you please provide a proper cover letter for a series (also if it is
a series with only 2 patches)?

Regarding your commit message: secs_to_jiffies() is defined in hci_event
and cannot be reused by other callsites and this is why it's valuable to
move it into core code. Especially because there are ~500 users which do
the multiplier thing and there are also several users which use (secs *
HZ).

What do you think about converting the other users e.g. using
Coccinelle?

Why not only doing

#define secs_to_jiffies(s) (s * HZ)

Yes, apologies, this isn't my usual mode of operations.

I intended to follow up this series with such. I'm not super familiar
with Coccinelle and am occupied by commercial work, so that may take longer.

Yes, fair enough, I can change accordingly.
