Subject: [PATCH V2 resend] ipv6: fix incorrect route 'expires' value passed to userspace
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 09:42:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5008B794.7010904@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120719.104906.38765587582698093.davem@davemloft.net>


When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already
expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157)
calculated base on INT_MAX.

The reason of this problem is in the following satement:
	rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX
gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus
a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.

This patch fix this by use the same trick as time_after macro to
avoid the 'unsigned long' type promotion and deal with jiffies
wrapping.

Also we should do some fix in rtnl_put_cacheinfo() which use
jiffies_to_clock_t(which take an unsigned long as parameter) to
convert jiffies to clock_t to handle the negative expires.
