6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f2655ac2c06a15558e51ed6529de280e1553c86e upstream.
The current "nretries > 1 || nretries >= max_retries" check in
cs_watchdog_read() will always evaluate to true, and thus pr_warn(), if
nretries is greater than 1. The intent is instead to never warn on the
first try, but otherwise warn if the successful retry was the last retry.
Therefore, change that "||" to "&&".
Fixes: db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected")
