Re: infinite loop in read_hpet from ktime_get_boot_fast_ns

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Or in case that's not clear enough:

int __init mod_init(void)
{
  u64 j1 = 0, j2, k1 = 0, k2, l1 = 0, l2;
  for (;;) {
    j2 = jiffies64_to_nsecs(get_jiffies_64());
    k2 = ktime_get_coarse_boottime();
    l2 = local_clock();
    pr_err("%llu %llu %llu\n", j2 - j1, k2 - k1, l2 - l1);
    j1 = j2;
    k1 = k2;
    l1 = l2;
    msleep(200);
  }
  return 0;
}
