Corrected, apologies for any inconvenience caused. I would greatly appreciate it if you could recommend a formatting checking tool. If there is no auto checking tool, I will pay attention to these formatting checks next time.

In general, but does it actually occur in that code? IOW, is there any system for which the exit latency of an idle state is so large that it will trigger the overflow, for example? > In C language, when you perform a multiplication operation, if > both operands are of int type, the multiplication operation is > performed on the int type, and then the result is converted to > the target type. Right, that's how C works. > This means that if the product of int type > multiplication exceeds the range that int type can represent, > an overflow will occur even if you store the result in a > variable of int64_t type. True. However, does this really happen in the particular case at hand? If not, it would be better to say something like "For a multiplication of two int values, it is better to use mul_u32_u32() that prevents overflows from occurring." > Signed-off-by: mtk24676 <C.Cheng@mediatek.com> > Signed-off-by: bo.ye <bo.ye@mediatek.com> > --- > > diff --git a/drivers/cpuidle/driver.c b/drivers/cpuidle/driver.c > index d9cda7f..631ca16 100644 > --- a/drivers/cpuidle/driver.c > +++ b/drivers/cpuidle/driver.c > @@ -187,7 +187,7 @@ > s->target_residency = div_u64(s->target_residency_ns, NSEC_PER_USEC); > > if (s->exit_latency > 0) > - s->exit_latency_ns = s->exit_latency * NSEC_PER_USEC; > + s->exit_latency_ns = (u64)s->exit_latency * NSEC_PER_USEC; mul_u32_u32()/? > else if (s->exit_latency_ns < 0) > s->exit_latency_ns = 0; > else
