Re: [PATCH] jiffies: Cast to unsigned long for secs_to_jiffies() conversion

While converting users of msecs_to_jiffies(), lkp reported that some range checks would always be true because of the mismatch between the implied int value of secs_to_jiffies() vs the unsigned long return value of the msecs_to_jiffies() calls it was replacing. Fix this by casting secs_to_jiffies() values as unsigned long.

Fixes: b35108a51cf7ba ("jiffies: Define secs_to_jiffies()") CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.12+

Sorry, this should be 6.13+ since secs_to_jiffies() was introduced in 6.13-rc1, not 6.12-rc1. I was mislead by git describe output. Let me send this as a v2.

Thanks, Easwar (he/him)
