Re: [PATCH] can: bcm: check timer values before ktime conversion

[Andre Naujoks <nautsch2@gmail.com>]

I really don't know. That's why I'd be hesitant to restrict this. Maybe
limit it to something really out of the ordinary, like a year?

I am not sure that for example one hour would be out of the question for
some edge cases. Maybe someone wants to do a heartbeat for his/her
system with a very low priority. This would mean a TX_SETUP with a
timeout of an hour and a RX_SETUP with a timeout of a bit more.

If the system allow timeouts in those ranges, I think it should be
allowed. If someone wants to wait a year for a CAN frame, however
unlikely that might be, why not?

Andre.
