From 04a3446c90137a473837288b04b517b19dc67a0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frode Isaksen Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 05:49:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] fs: sys_poll with timeout -1 bug fix If you do a poll() call with timeout -1, the wait will be a big number (depending on HZ) instead of infinite wait, since -1 is passed to the msecs_to_jiffies function.
