The patch looks correct, and the changelog comment seems ok too.
However, I think it makes sense to do two other changes at the
same time here:
- use ktime_t with ktime_us_delta()/ktime_to_ns to simplify the
code
- use monotonic time (ktime_get) instead of wall time
(getnstimeofday64/ktime_get_real) to be more robust against
leap seconds and settimeofday() calls
