[PATCH 4.2 51/54] timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Oct 23 2015 - 14:30:19 EST


4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 56fd16cabac9cd8f15e2902898a9d0cc96e2fa70 upstream.

timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to
increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick
up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not
set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at
0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

Fixes: 868a3e915f7f "hrtimer: Make offset update smarter"
