From bd729d72b428261f2975360e0c117d7d7a2cd6e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 15:21:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rtc: Avoid setting alarm to a time in the past In some cases at boot up, the RTC alarm may be set in the past, but still have the enabled flag on. This was causing problems, because we would then enqueue the alarm into the timerqueue, but it would never fire. This would clog up the timerqueue and keep other alarms from working. The fix is to check the alarm against the current rtc time at boot and avoid enqueueing the alarm if it is in the past.
