Subject: [PATCH] time: Limit time values that would overflow ktime_t
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 19:21:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343863276-30340-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
Thomas, Ingo,
This is against tip/timers/urgent. Let me know
if you'd like to see any further changes
-john
Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to
a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t
(which is something larger then the year 2264).
So check timekeeping inputs to make sure we don't set
the time to a value that overflows ktime_t.
Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to
overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation
cause the overflow.
