Subject: [PATCH] journal: Drop monotonicity check when appending to journal
1abbee
 file
1abbee
1abbee
Remove the check that triggers rotation of the journal file when the
1abbee
arriving log entry had a monotonic timestamp smaller that the previous
1abbee
log entry. This check causes unnecessary rotations when journal-remote
1abbee
was receiving from multiple senders, therefore monotonicity can not be
1abbee
guaranteed. Also, it does not offer any useful functionality for
1abbee
systemd-journald.
