- [PATCH] FS: timerfd: Fix unexpected return value of timerfd_read function. 'hrtimer_forward_now()' returns zero due to bigger backward time drift. This causes timerfd_read to return 0. As per man page, read on timerfd is not expected to return 0. This patch fixes this problem. Signed-off-by: Arul Jeniston <arul.jeniston@xxxxxxxxx>
