X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc2~43^2 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3494c16676a21e7e53e21b08a0a469a38df6dcfb;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [TICK] tick-common: Fix one-shot handling in tick_handle_periodic(). When clockevents_program_event() is given an expire time in the past, it does not update dev->next_event, so this looping code would loop forever once the first in-the-past expiration time was used. Keep advancing "next" locally to fix this bug. Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: David S.
