Subject: [patch 13/19] [IPV6]: Fix route lifetime.
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 14:48:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051223224833.GM19057@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20051223224712.GA18975@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: ipv6-fix-route-lifetime.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2475 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

The route expiration time is stored in rt6i_expires in jiffies.
The argument of rt6_route_add() for adding a route is not the
expiration time in jiffies nor in clock_t, but the lifetime
(or time left before expiration) in clock_t.

Because of the confusion, we sometimes saw several strange errors
(FAILs) in TAHI IPv6 Ready Logo Phase-2 Self Test.
The symptoms were analyzed by Mitsuru Chinen <CHINEN@jp.ibm.com>.
