You need 64bit (or at least more than 32bit) for the seconds, otherwise you add a y2038 problem which would be sad in new code. Remember you might be still alive then ;-) Ok one could argue that on 32bit architectures 2038 is so deeply embedded that it doesn't make much difference, but I still think it would be better to not readd it to new interfaces there. 64bit longs on 32bit is fine, as long as you use aligned_u64, never long long or u64 (which has varying alignment between i386 and x86-64) -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
