[PATCH] staging: comedi: Use monotonic clock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to
user setting the time or due to NTP.

Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two
timestamps.
