Well, even if this happens, it should not cause get_timer() to show such problems. get_timer() returns an "unsigned long" and is counting in milliseconds, so a wrap-around should take about 50 days. > shell command to use a total counter of the udelay(100) > sleeps instead of an end time marker to determine the end > of the sleep, making the 'sleep' command capable of sleeping > for any number of seconds on all architectures. I tend to reject this patch because I think we should fix the cause of the problems rather than the symptoms - there are more areas in the code that rely on sane behaviour of the get_timer() functione.
