no, it cannot affect jiffies. (jiffies was a red herring all along) udelay() cannot be affected either - sched_clock() has no effect on udelay(). _But_, when there are TSC problems then tsc based udelay() suffers too so the phenomenons may _seem_ related. > If so, then fixing it has to be a *must* for 2.6.24, as otherwise > we'll get all sorts of one-in-while odd driver bugs.. like maybe these > two for starters: > > [Bug 9492] 2.6.24: false double-clicks from USB mouse > [Bug 9489] 20000+ wake-ups/second in 2.6.24 iirc these high rate wakeups happened on 2.6.22 too.
