[PATCH 3.13 116/120] timekeeping: Fix CLOCK_TAI timer/nanosleep delays

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 11 2014 - 14:06:15 EST


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

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

From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 04005f6011e3b504cd4d791d9769f7cb9a3b2eae upstream.

A think-o in the calculation of the monotonic -> tai time offset
results in CLOCK_TAI timers and nanosleeps to expire late (the
latency is ~2x the tai offset).

Fix this by adding the tai offset from the realtime offset instead
of subtracting.
