The TW_IOCTL_GET_LOCK ioctl uses do_gettimeofday() to check whether a lock has expired. This can misbehave due to a concurrent settimeofday() call, as it is based on 'real' time, and it will overflow in y2038 on 32-bit architectures, producing unexpected results when used across the overflow time. This changes it to using monotonic time, using ktime_get() to simplify the code. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Adam Radford <aradford@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

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.
