I use blk_rq_deadline because __blk_add_timer uses it.

-
        /*
         * If the timer isn't already pending or this timeout is earlier
         * than an existing one, modify the timer. Round up to next nearest
         * second.
         */
        expiry = blk_rq_timeout(round_jiffies_up(blk_rq_deadline(req)));
-
        if (!timer_pending(&q->timeout) ||
            time_before(expiry, q->timeout.expires)) {
                unsigned long diff = q->timeout.expires - expiry;


This is also the reason why there is no issue about timeout when test.
blk_rq_timeout will return reasonable value.

In addition, on a 64bit system, how do you set up the timer with a 32bit 
deadline ?


Thanks
