SubjectRe: MSEC_TO_JIFFIES is messed up...
I have submitted a patch just to do this some time back on netdev mailing
list. You can find it at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=108024598716537&w=2

static inline unsigned long msecs_to_jiffies(unsigned long msecs)
{
#if 1000 % HZ == 0
return msecs / (1000 / HZ);
#elif HZ % 1000 == 0
return msecs * (HZ / 1000);
#else
return (msecs / 1000) * HZ + (msecs % 1000) * HZ / 1000;
#endif
}

static inline unsigned long jiffies_to_msecs(unsigned long jiffs)
{
#if 1000 % HZ == 0
return jiffs * (1000 / HZ);
#elif HZ % 1000 == 0
return jiffs / (HZ / 1000);
#else
return (jiffs / HZ) * 1000 + (jiffs % HZ) * 1000 / HZ;
#endif
}

I was told that some users of these routines need an explicit roundup of
delays.
For ex: when HZ=100 and msecs is less than 10, the above msecs_to_jiffies()
returns 0 jiffies, whereas some users expect 1 jiffy.

So i modified msecs_to_jiffies() as follows which should do proper rounding
when HZ=100. But didn't get back any response.

static inline unsigned long msecs_to_jiffies(unsigned long msecs)
{
#if 1000 % HZ == 0
return (msecs + ((1000 / HZ) - 1)) / (1000 / HZ);
#elif HZ % 1000 == 0
return msecs * (HZ / 1000);
#else
return (msecs / 1000) * HZ + (msecs % 1000) * HZ / 1000;
#endif
}

Thanks
