Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Ticket 50265: the warning about skew time could last
26521d
 forever
26521d
26521d
Bug: if the local system time is set back more than 300 seconds
26521d
	a worning about too much time skew is logged and the sampled
26521d
	time is updated. This adjustment is done at every write operation
26521d
	and can increase the time skew and be logged infinitely
26521d
26521d
Fix: the intention of the adjustment was to avoid a roll over of seq_num
26521d
	if the sampled time is not increased for more than 65k oberations.
26521d
	But this is already handled with an explicite check for seq_num
26521d
	rollover. The extra adjustment for negative time skew can be removed.
