From 96d2ab484e7a9bafdab44b8c7d1ef5944319b18c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 16:08:55 -0700 Subject: hrtimer: fix signed/unsigned bug in slack estimator the slack estimator used unsigned math; however for very short delay it's possible that by the time you calculate the timeout, it's already passed and you get a negative time/slack... in an unsigned variable... which then gets turned into a 100 msec delay rather than zero. This patch fixes this by using a signed typee in the right places.
