[PATCH v2] rfkill-input doesn't work until 5 minutes after boot

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Sat Oct 04 2008 - 20:43:48 EST


rfkill-input implements debounce as follows:

if (time_after(jiffies, task->last + msecs_to_jiffies(200))) {

However, task->last is initialised to 0 while jiffies starts at -300*HZ.
Any input within 5 minutes of kernel start is therefore ignored. Fix by
initialising task->last correctly.

Set the last event value at module load time, since otherwise we'll have
a window of failure if someone loads the module in a few hundred million
years. I look forward to being rewarded by the post-humans for caring so
much about them.
