From: John Stultz Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 23:38:15 +0000 (-0700) Subject: time: Fix change_clocksource locking X-Git-Tag: v3.4-rc1~44^2~16 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f695cf94837de53864180400cbac42cfa370426f;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fkernel-adaptation-pc.git time: Fix change_clocksource locking change_clocksource() fails to grab locks or call timekeeping_update(), which leaves a race window for time inconsistencies. This adds proper locking and a call to timekeeping_update() to fix this.
