From cb2aa63469f81426c7406227be70b628b42f7a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:35:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] time: Fix sign bug in NTP mult overflow warning In commit 6067dc5a8c2b ("time: Avoid possible NTP adjustment mult overflow") a new check was added to watch for adjustments that could cause a mult overflow. Unfortunately the check compares a signed with unsigned value and ignored the case where the adjustment was negative, which causes spurious warn-ons on some systems (and seems like it would result in problematic time adjustments there as well, due to the early return). Thus this patch adds a check to make sure the adjustment is positive before we check for an overflow, and resovles the issue in my testing.
