Subject: [PATCH 2/3] softlockup: sanitize print-out limit checks
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:04:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080627000805.279106291@saeurebad.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080627000445.346130358@saeurebad.de
[-- Attachment #1: softlockup-bogus-report-delay-checks.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1063 bytes --]
The print_timestamp can never be bigger than the touch_timestamp, at
maximum it can be equal. And if it is, the second check for
touch_timestamp + 1 bigger print_timestamp is always true, too.
The check for equality is sufficient as we proceed in one-second-steps
and are at least one second away from the last print-out if we have
another timestamp.
