Subject: [PATCH] Avoid time_offset overflows
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:40:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1174696834.5690.14.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and
finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to
SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch).

This patch converts time_offset from a long to a s64 which resolves the
issue.

thanks
