[PATCH net-next] xfrm: Make xfrm_state timer monotonic

[Fan Du]

xfrm_state timer should be independent of system clock change,
so switch to monotonic clock base.

I think a monotonic timer will reintroduce a bug on suspend/resume
that was fixed by commit 9e0d57fd6
(xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume)

Please make sure that this does not happen.

What about using CLOCK_BOOTTIME? it's monotonic, but includes suspend time as well.

xfrm_state timer should be independent of system clock change,
so switch to CLOCK_BOOTTIME base which is not only monotonic but
also counting suspend time.

As I said, I'm open to everything that fixes your problem and does not
introduce a regression. I'll consider applying after some testing
if noone else has objections.

Thanks!

Hi, Steffen

Thanks for your understanding! :)

I happened to bump into CLOCK_BOOTTIME several days ago, so apologize for
eating my words earlier. Changing xfrm_state timer to monotonic does not
solve the problem I've described earlier in:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg245019.html (*1*)

So is there any light of hope for the proposal in (*1*) by using CLOCK_BOOTTIME
instead?

Well, you have to convince David in the first place, as he is sitting
upstream from me ;)

Also, I think he is right with his complaint. Why not following the
clock_was_set approach you started with?

This does not apply to my tree, looks like your patch is whitespace damaged.
