Subject: ipconfig: Use time_before
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c72c95a064e55923c5dd050d099e51ac550f29a2;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ipconfig: Use time_before

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq
are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.

A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch making this change
is as follows:

@change@
expression E1,E2;
@@
- jiffies - E1 < E2
+ time_before(jiffies, E1+E2)
