From cee58483cf56e0ba355fdd97ff5e8925329aa936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:30:06 -0400 Subject: time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strict Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526ca7 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.
