From 167b1de3ee4e50d65a2bd0a2667c9cd48faf54f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2007 19:16:17 +0100 Subject: clockevents: warn once when program_event() is called with negative expiry The hrtimer problem with large relative timeouts resulting in a negative expiry time went unnoticed as there is no check in the clockevents_program_event() code. Put a check there with a WARN_ONCE to avoid such problems in the future.
