Subject: aoe: use high-resolution RTTs with fallback to low-res
X-Git-Tag: v3.8-rc1~74^2~41
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernelconcepts.de/?p=karo-tx-linux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f0c9c48e7265039c3f945aaf44a1c6ae8adbd01

aoe: use high-resolution RTTs with fallback to low-res

These changes improve the accuracy of the decision about whether it's time
to retransmit an AoE command by using the microsecond-resolution
gettimeofday instead of jiffies.

Because the system time can jump suddenly, the decision reverts to using
jiffies if the high-resolution time difference is relatively large.
Otherwise the AoE targets could be considered failed inappropriately.
