-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <[email protected]>
The route expiration time is stored in rt6i_expires in jiffies.
The argument of rt6_route_add() for adding a route is not the
expiration time in jiffies nor in clock_t, but the lifetime
(or time left before expiration) in clock_t.
Because of the confusion, we sometimes saw several strange errors
(FAILs) in TAHI IPv6 Ready Logo Phase-2 Self Test.
The symptoms were analyzed by Mitsuru Chinen <[email protected]>.
