The error drift should be small and 150ppm isn't too good, but it isn't an error to be too worried about. As the alpha example shows, in the past we already tried to reduce this error anyway, in this case by choosing an appropriate HZ value. > but both my version and your version of the solution are pretty > close at this point and I can rework my difference on-top of this patch > without much trouble. Practically it should be enough to just check the base drift and print a warning message, as it suggest to be more likely a configuration error. bye, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
