Subject: high-res timers: next_event calculation fix
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Do not set expires_next to KTIME_MAX if a too short timeout is being set -
this can result in the clock events device being shut down completely.
Found via a stresstest on a C3-lapic-plagued laptop that did very short
sleeps.
This bug could explain the 'Synaptics hang' that was reported.
