[SVN commits to the DAHDI project]

Author: sruffell

New Revision: 9876

URL: http://svnview.digium.com/svn/dahdi?view=rev&rev=9876
Log:
core timer: don't hang when the clock goes back.

If the clock shifts back, don't hang in a loop of running
process_masterspan from the timer interrupt forever.

Fixes a regression of r9407.

(closes issue #19035)
Reported by: tzafrir

Signed-off-by: Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com>

After talking with Tzafrir on IRC, I combined the check if your far ahead
with the check if you're behind and added a '\n' at the end of the
existing "detected time shift" message.  That is why this patch is
different than what is posted on issue #19035.
