Subject: RE: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] net: change sysctl_net_ll_poll into an
 unsigned int

Hi,

Please make sure to include sockperf-dev@...glegroups.com among the recipients of this thread (I just added).
Maybe better, I suggest opening an issue in sockperf issue system - https://code.google.com/p/sockperf/issues/list .  Then anyone can add notes or read/receive them.

You can see an example for similar issue (patch for supporting IP_TOS) here: https://code.google.com/p/sockperf/issues/detail?id=44
Cheers,
  Avner

Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] net: change sysctl_net_ll_poll into an unsigned int

There is no reason for sysctl_net_ll_poll to be an unsigned long.
Change it into an unsigned int.
Fix the proc handler.
Add a cast in ll_end_time()
