Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: fix random jitter calculation
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2012 21:32:10 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1356525130-2688-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)

batadv_iv_ogm_emit_send_time() attempts to calculates a random integer
in the range of 'orig_interval +- BATADV_JITTER' by the below lines.

        msecs = atomic_read(&bat_priv->orig_interval) - BATADV_JITTER;
        msecs += (random32() % 2 * BATADV_JITTER);

But it actually gets 'orig_interval' or 'orig_interval - BATADV_JITTER'
because '%' and '*' have same precedence and associativity is
left-to-right.

This adds the parentheses at the appropriate position so that it matches
original intension.

This patch is extracted from the patch series "rename random32 and
net_random to prandom" since it is a fix.
