>From 13cc8b6ff0d8198102f60691c38c07151a693c7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:34:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] acpi_pm.c: check for monotonicity The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the current check only triggers in 50% of all cases, leading to catastrophic timer behaviour. To fix this issue, expand the check for monotonicity by doing ten consecutive tests instead of one.
