Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] rust: time: add Delta::to_jiffies_timeout() for timeout conversion
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:01:47 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811150147.1360102-3-tomo@flapping.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811150147.1360102-1-tomo@flapping.org>
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
Add Delta<Nsec>::to_jiffies_timeout() conversion. Unless the result
saturates, the value is rounded up, so the resulting timeout is never
shorter than the requested span.
The result saturates at zero jiffies for a negative span, i.e. an
immediate timeout, and at the kernel's MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET "wait forever"
value for a span that is too large.
