Subject: [PATCH] ntp: Make periodic RTC update more reliable
|
|
|
|
The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens
|
|
in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be
|
|
difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the
|
|
target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second.
|
|
|
|
Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute
|
|
update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the
|
|
overall accuracy of the RTC much.
