commit5e50d4b8aeupstream. batadv_v_elp_start_timer() enqeues a delayed work. The time when it starts is randomly chosen between (elp_interval - BATADV_JITTER) and (elp_interval + BATADV_JITTER). The configured elp_interval must therefore be larger or equal to BATADV_JITTER to avoid that it causes an underflow of the unsigned integer. If this would happen, then a "fast" ELP interval would turn into a "day long" delay. At the same time, it must not be larger than the maximum value the variable can store.

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.
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.
