[PATCH 04/24] timekeeping: Abort clocksource change in case of failure

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Wed Sep 11 2024 - 09:32:17 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is no point to go through a full timekeeping update when acquiring a
module reference or enabling the new clocksource fails.
