Subject: [PATCH 7/8] time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjust
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 01:21:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342156917-25092-8-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1342156917-25092-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>

When we make adjustments speeding up the clock, its possible
for xtime_nsec to underflow. We already handle this properly,
but we do so from update_wall_time() instead of the more logical
timekeeping_adjust(), where the possible underflow actually
occurs.

Thus, move the correction logic to the timekeeping_adjust, which
is the function that causes the issue. Making update_wall_time()
more readable.
