Oops, yes, sorry, I ran it on a 3.14 backport and then just added people I found in older patches for that file. > I hope reading the time properly fails thanks to the rtc_valid_tm(tm) in > __rtc_read_time(). It should, yeah. I haven't tested it (beyond compiling) on master, and our version doesn't have that code yet, so I can't say for sure. > It will also happen if nobody reads the RTC time for that day (highly > improbable in a default configuration). Do you need that patch for 4.4 > or can it wait 4.5? True. I don't really need the patch to land in a particular release since we maintain our own tree with backports. It would probably still be nice if you can get it into the 4.4 LTS to reduce the chance this will hit anyone again next year. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
