Subject: [patch] hangcheck-timer: cleanup casting in hangcheck_init()
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:42:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141029084250.GA8939@mwanda> (raw)
The 32 bit addition "(hangcheck_margin + hangcheck_tick)" could
potentially overflow. It triggers a static checker warning to have an
overflowed addition followed by a no-op cast. I have moved the cast so
that the addition can't overflow.
Also I removed the unneeded cast on the following line since both
"hangcheck_tsc_margin" and "TIMER_FREQ" are already 64 bit types.
