sg_jif_to_ms() is marked inline but used defore its function
body is available. Moving it nearer the top of sg.c (together
with sg_ms_to_jif() for consistency) fixes the problem.


While your patch is perfectly fine I think we can do better.
I think that we may try converting sg.c to use jiffies_to_msecs()
and msecs_to_jiffies() from <linux/time.h>.


_Look_ at the patch. It just moves code around for no reason. Using static inline prototypes should work just fine. This patch isn't needed.
