I have two complaints about this patch:
1)
I think the 'action' name sucks because it's too obfuscated. It's only
ever set to TK_CLOCK_WAS_SET, so why not name it more descriptively,
i.e. 'clock_was_set'?
2)
Secondly, the proliferation of parameters passed around I think calls
for a helper structure which would carry the (offset, shift,
clock_was_set) triple:
struct acc_params {
cycle_t offset;
u32 shift;
bool clock_was_set;
};
And then passed down like this:
> static cycle_t logarithmic_accumulation(struct timekeeper *tk, struct
> acc_params *params)
Agreed?
Thanks,
Ingo
