From d912d1ff218195c248c770eb677726695e07aa40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Anzinger Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:43:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] itimer fixes Fix the recent off-by-one fix in the itimer code: 1. The repeating timer is figured using the requested time (not +1 as we know where we are in the jiffie). 2. The tests for interval too large are left to the time_val to jiffie code.
