[PATCH] netxen: remove timespec usage

2017-11-27 Thread Arnd Bergmann
netxen_collect_minidump() evidently just wants to get a monotonic timestamp. Using jiffies_to_timespec(jiffies, &ts) is not appropriate here, since it will overflow after 2^32 jiffies, which may be as short as 49 days of uptime. ktime_get_seconds() is the correct interface here. Signed-off-by: Ar
