Max_jiffy_offset: msleep() beyond infinity
- cvs268 12y agoOver the years, apparently only 1 guy has reported an issue with this definition of MAX_JIFFIES_OFFSET http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2012/07/11/222 http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2012/07/11/222 As mentioned, this was originally discovered and has subsequently been fixed within the ipset module. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400405/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400405/ The discrepancy however remains in msleep() or to be more precise within msecs_to_jiffies(). Waiting for a Toyota-brake-failure or Mars-rover-flash-failure kind of scenario to get the attention it truly deserves.
