This patch is concerned with migrating the time variables for the s390
network driver. The changes handle the y2038 problem where timespec will
overflow in the year 2038. timespec was replaced by unsigned long and
all time variables get their values from the jiffies global variable.
This was done for the sake of speed and efficiency.

v1: Arnd has advised me to provide you with options for time
calculation. The first option: "accuracy" is used in this
patch. The second option: "speed" can be done through
jiffies.
v2: Moved on to the speed option. Let me know if I explicitly
need to include the jiffies header. The module compiles with
no problems on my side.
v3: Handled the error pointed out by Ursula. The current version
does not handle overflows. There are two solutions for this.
The first is to use jiffies_64 since s/390 is a 64-bit
architecture after all. The second is to use wrapper functions
like time_before and time_after. Two files were added too.
They are: ctcm_main.c and netiucv.c. This patch could be sent
as a patchset in its final version for convenience.

Thx, Aya. Now I will add your patch to our collection for our next
upstream posting on net_next.
The only thing I want to change is removing your
#include <linux/jiffies.h>
lines. All affected routines use already
#include <linux/timer.h>
Thus these lines are not needed.
Regards, Ursula Braun

Hi Aya,
The patch looks correct to me now,
Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>
There is one small change that you could do for efficiency:

This means you are doing the jiffies_to_usecs conversion for every
packet. s390 has a fast multiplication instruction, so it won't matter
in practice, but if you do more conversions like this, a better approach
is to store the 'jiffies' value in ch->prof.tx_time and only convert
it to another unit when printing the number.
Arnd
