Re: [PATCH] timers: Reconcile the code and the comment for the 250HZ case

Sure, I believe that comments should always match the code. In this
case, using either LVL_SIZE - 1 or LVL_SIZE is fine based on my
understanding about 20 days ago. But I could be wrong and miss some
subtle details. Anyway, my point is about readability.

thanks,
