From 3ef0a25bf9ef318615c810e24d244d55c09806d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 13:26:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: sctp: avoid incorrect time_t use We want to avoid using time_t in the kernel because of the y2038 overflow problem. The use in sctp is not for storing seconds at all, but instead uses microseconds and is passed as 32-bit on all machines. This patch changes the type to u32, which better fits the use.
