If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 98b74e1f31045a63f6148b2d129ca9bf244e24ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2017 16:23:32 -0700 Subject: kselftests: timers: leap-a-day: Change default arguments to help test runs From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 98b74e1f31045a63f6148b2d129ca9bf244e24ab upstream. Change default arguments for leap-a-day to always set the time each iteration (rather then waiting for midnight UTC), and to only run 10 interations (rather then infinite). If one wants to wait for midnight UTC, they can use the new -w flag, and we add a note to the argument help that -i -1 will run infinitely.
