What does this say about any timers that may be pending? Say for cron or some such? Like I said, I picked up this thread a bit late, but, seems to me that if time is passing, it should pass on both the jiffies AND the wall clocks. > > It may very well be a POSIX timers spec issue, but it just strikes me as > odd. The spec thing would relate to any sleeps or timers that are pending. The spec would seem to say they should complete somewhere near the requested wall time, but NEVER before. By not moving jiffies, I think they will be a bit late. Now, if they were to complete during the sleep, well those should fire at completion of the sleep. If the are to complete after the sleep, then, it seems to me, they should fire at the requested time. -- George Anzinger george@mvista.com High-res-timers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/ Preemption patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml
