Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] posix-timers: Exposes DELAYTIMER_MAX constant used to govern overruns
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2015 12:48:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422121737-3686-3-git-send-email-dchurch@andplus.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1422121737-3686-1-git-send-email-dchurch@andplus.com>

POSIX.1-2001 specification of timer_getoverrun() supports constant
DELAYTIMER_MAX which prevents overflow and caps overrun count.  Exposes
delaytimer_max value to userland via /proc/sys/kernel/delaytimer_max such
that GLIBC can support DELAYTIMER_MAX constant.
