Description Jon Masters 2007-11-29 04:20:19 UTC
Description of problem:

The symbol "round_jiffies" is used by a variety of kernel modules, as well as
in-kernel users. It is used to round a value of jiffies to the nearest whole
second at some point in the future, is useful for timers, and is gaining
increased use in this day and age.
