We do keep track of the amount of time in suspend (total_sleep_time), so creating a new clockid to provide CLOCK_MONOTONIC + total_sleep_time wouldn't be hard. We just haven't had a clear articulation of why it would be useful to expose to userland (nor a clear name to describe exactly what it represents). thanks -john -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
