Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: stex: Remove use of struct timeval
Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 12:34:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150505070427.GA4979@tinar> (raw)

Function stex_gettime uses 'struct timeval' whose tv_sec value
will overflow on 32-bit systems in year 2038 and beyond. This patch
replaces the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday with
ktime_get_real_seconds, which returns a 64-bit seconds value.

Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Signed-off-by: Tina Ruchandani <ruchandani.tina@gmail.com>

Changes in v3:
- Remove stex_gettime altogether, directly assign the timestamp.
Changes in v2:
- Change subject line to indicate that the patch is restricted to stex driver.
