Re: How to modify the value of jiffies

Sorry for not updating anything from my side for a while,i got engaged in other things.

/*
* Have the 32 bit jiffies value wrap 5 minutes after boot
* so jiffies wrap bugs show up earlier.
*/
#define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ))



so this now resolves the issue of getting the higher jiffies value at the start in 2.6 kernel :)

Thanks Matti and Sri for throwing the light,Thank you very much.
Points to follow :)
