Subject: [PATCH 2/7] tcp_cubic: fix comparison of jiffies
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:52:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110314175439.377973202@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110314175211.788224699@vyatta.com

[-- Attachment #1: tcp-cubic-jiffies-wrap.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1021 bytes --]

Jiffies wraps around therefore the correct way to compare is
to use cast to signed value.

Note: cubic is not using full jiffies value on 64 bit arch
because using full unsigned long makes struct bictcp grow too
large for the available ca_priv area.

Includes correction from Sangtae Ha to improve ack train detection.
