Re: [patch 1/2] Ignore stolen time in the softlockup watchdog

From: Eric Dumazet

Jeremy Fitzhardinge a écrit :

+static DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long long, touch_timestamp);

...

void touch_softlockup_watchdog(void)
{
- __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = jiffies;
+ __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = sched_clock();
}

Not very clear if this is safe on 32bit, since this is not anymore atomic.

Maybe a comment would help ?
