Subject: Re: [PATCH] ipv6 addrconf: implement RFC7559 router solicitation backoff

I'm not sure what line you're referring to.

There are *no* outright jiffies or msecs in this patch, with the
exception of the (3600*HZ) line which is already obvious enough.

The 900000 200001 1900000 1000000 constants are not jiffies nor
miliseconds, they're simply numbers, such that 900000/1000000 = 0.9
and 200001/1000000 =~ 0.2 (the +1 is to deal with 0) and
1900000/1000000 = 1.9
