If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Stultz [ Upstream commit 1416270f4a1ae83ea84156ceba19a66a8f88be1f ] In the past we've warned when ADJ_OFFSET was in progress, usually caused by ntpd or some other time adjusting daemon running in non steady sate, which can cause the skew calculations to be incorrect. Thus, this patch checks to see if the clock was being adjusted when we fail so that we don't cause false negatives.
