[patch 117/176] fix jiffy calculations in calibrate_delay_direct to handle overflow

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Feb 15 2011 - 20:02:35 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tim Deegan <Tim.Deegan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 70a062286b9dfcbd24d2e11601aecfead5cf709a upstream.

Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be
quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.
