Subject: [PATCH net V2] xen-netback: use jiffies_64 value to calculate credit timeout
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:35:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382960117-13053-1-git-send-email-wei.liu2@citrix.com> (raw)
time_after_eq() only works if the delta is < MAX_ULONG/2.
For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time
between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2
and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be
replenished and the guest may become unable to send packets (e.g., if
prior to the long gap, all credit was exhausted).
Use jiffies_64 variant to mitigate this problem for 32bit Dom0.
