From 0125737accc5aac532719aecd80615364caa9e0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:45:42 +0100 Subject: random32: use msecs_to_jiffies for reseed timer Use msecs_to_jiffies, for these calculations as different HZ considerations are taken into account for conversion of the timer shot, and also it makes the code more readable.
