It is probably better to just change the constant to 3ull.
However I'd be tempted to look more closely at the valid values
for 'timeout_ns'.
It seems unlikely that that the timeout (in sel) will be near
enough to 4 seconds that multiplying by a small integer will
take the value over 4 seconds without requiring larger input
values be supported.

timeout_ns might even be being used in places where the value
has to be smaller than 1 second!
