I have a patch to make this change for all the jiffies <--> human-time
functions, but have a problem. I noticed that these functions, in the
if/else form (as opposed to #if/#else) will warn about division-by-zero
problems, as (HZ / MSEC_PER_SEC), (HZ / USEC_PER_SEC) & (HZ /
NSEC_PER_SEC) are all 0 if HZ < 1000 (which, of course, is the default
now :) ). Any suggestions? Just leave the functions as is? Even then,
I'm going to update this patch to use USEC_PER_SEC and MSEC_PER_SEC in
the other conversion functions like I use NSEC_PER_SEC in the first
version.
Thanks,
Nish
