Subject: clockevents: warn once when program_event() is called with negative expiry
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc5~49^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=167b1de3ee4e50d65a2bd0a2667c9cd48faf54f3;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

clockevents: warn once when program_event() is called with negative expiry

The hrtimer problem with large relative timeouts resulting in a
negative expiry time went unnoticed as there is no check in the
clockevents_program_event() code. Put a check there with a WARN_ONCE
to avoid such problems in the future.
