From 632623153196bf183a69686ed9c07eee98ff1bf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:02:21 -0700 Subject: tcp: syncookies: do not use getnstimeofday() While it is true that getnstimeofday() uses about 40 cycles if TSC is available, it can use 1600 cycles if hpet is the clocksource. Switch to get_jiffies_64(), as this is more than enough, and go back to 60 seconds periods.
