Subject: time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjust
X-Git-Tag: v3.6-rc2~37^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?p=~andy%2Flinux;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2a8c0883c3cfffcc148ea606e2a4e7453cd75e73

time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjust

When we make adjustments speeding up the clock, its possible
for xtime_nsec to underflow. We already handle this properly,
but we do so from update_wall_time() instead of the more logical
timekeeping_adjust(), where the possible underflow actually
occurs.

Thus, move the correction logic to the timekeeping_adjust, which
is the function that causes the issue. Making update_wall_time()
more readable.
