Matteo Croce b71ed54dc2 ipvs: don't show negative times in ip_vs_conn
Since commit 500462a9de ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel"),
timers duration can last even 12.5% more than the scheduled interval.

IPVS has two handlers, /proc/net/ip_vs_conn and /proc/net/ip_vs_conn_sync,
which shows the remaining time before that a connection expires.
The default expire time for a connection is 60 seconds, and the
expiration timer can fire even 4 seconds later than the scheduled time.
The expiration time is calculated subtracting jiffies to the scheduled
expiration time, and it's shown as a huge number when the timer fires late,
since both values are unsigned.

This can confuse script and tools which relies on it, like ipvsadm:

    root@mcroce-redhat:~# while ipvsadm -lc |grep SYN_RECV; do sleep 1 ; done

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
