One could do u32 seconds/u32 nsecs, but a simple aligned_u64 will be > better for 64-bit machines, and OK for 32-bit. aligned_u64 is not exported to userspace, so in the last patchset I just use __u64 as syscall parameter. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
