| |
The following is a piece of code from the latter half of schedule_timeout, in kernel/sched.c. Is it possible that schedule_timeout could return an incorrect value, if the jiffy value wraps between the first and last lines shown below.
expire = timeout + jiffies;
init_timer(&timer); timer.expires = expire; timer.data = (unsigned long) current; timer.function = process_timeout;
add_timer(&timer); schedule(); del_timer_sync(&timer);
timeout = expire - jiffies;
