Subject: [PATCH] time, ntp: Do not update time_state in middle of leap second
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 08:35:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422538546-27097-1-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.com> (raw)

During leap second insertion testing it was noticed that a small window
exists where the time_state could be reset such that
time_state = TIME_OK, which then causes the leap second to not occur, or
causes the entire leap second state machine to fail.

While this is highly unlikely to ever happen in the real world it is
still something we should protect against, as breaking the state machine
is obviously bad.

If the time_state == TIME_OOP (ie, the leap second is in progress) do not
allow an external update to time_state.
