Over the years, apparently only 1 guy has reported an issue with this definition of MAX_JIFFIES_OFFSET <a href="http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2012/07/11/222" rel="nofollow">http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2012/07/11/222</a><p>As mentioned, this was originally discovered and has subsequently been fixed within the ipset module.
<a href="http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400405/" rel="nofollow">http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400405/</a><p>The discrepancy however remains in msleep() or to be more precise within msecs_to_jiffies(). Waiting for a Toyota-brake-failure or Mars-rover-flash-failure kind of scenario to get the attention it truly deserves.
