[PATCH 04/12] mwifiex: use ktime_get_real for timestamping

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Sep 30 2015 - 07:30:01 EST


The mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt() function creates a ktime_t from
a timeval returned by do_gettimeofday, which is slow and causes
an overflow in 2038 on 32-bit architectures.

This solves both problems by using the appropriate ktime_get_real()
function.
