When timer_create() fails on a bootime or realtime clock, setup_timer() returns 0 as if timer has been set. Callers wait forever for the timer to expire. This hang is seen on a system that doesn't have support for: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM ABSTIME missing CAP_WAKE_ALARM? : [UNSUPPORTED] Test hangs waiting for a timer that hasn't been set to expire. Fix setup_timer() to return 1, add handling in callers to detect the unsupported case and return 0 without waiting to not fail the test. Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@osg.samsung.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
