struct timeval is not y2038 safe, and what mlc->instart do is scheduling a task in a fixed timeout, so jiffies is the simplest choice here. In hilse_donode(), the expires in mod_timer equals jiffies + intimeout - (now - instart) If we use jiffies in 'now', the expires equals instart + intimeout So, all we need to do is that making sure expires is a future timestamp before passed it to mod_timer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
