If there was earlier controversy about it then I guess I forgot to make the note at the time. It happens sometimes. But I must say that it happens most frequently with time-management things when you are the reviewer, because the review discussion seems to happen a loooong time after I merge the patch and proceeds at only a few emails per week. Not that I'm saying "Roman, please review stuff faster". You review well, and in detail and it's welcome. But that is the cause and effect. There are two contentious time patches: provide-u64-version-of-jiffies_to_usecs-in-kernel-tsacctc.patch time-close-small-window-for-vsyscall-time-inconsistencies.patch Possily I got the discussions confused and assumed they all concerned provide-u64-version-of-jiffies_to_usecs-in-kernel-tsacctc.patch
