In additon, /proc/acpi/alarm can set a related value which can be specified as YYYY years MM months DD days HH hours MM minutes SS senconds, it isn't a date, so you can specify as +0000-00-00 96:00:00 , that means 3 days later, current code can't handle such a case. This patch removes unnecessary code and does with the aforementioned situation. Before applying this patch: [root@localhost /]# cat /proc/acpi/alarm 2007-12-00 00:00:00 [root@localhost /]# echo "0000-00-00 96:180:180" > /proc/acpi/alarm [root@localhost /]# cat /proc/acpi/alarm 0007-12-02 **:**:** [root@localhost /]# After applying this patch: [root@localhost ~]# echo "2007-12-00 00:00:00" > /proc/acpi/alarm [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/acpi/alarm 2007-12-00 00:00:00 [root@localhost ~]# echo "0000-00-00 96:180:180" > /proc/acpi/alarm [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/acpi/alarm 0007-12-04 03:03:00 [root@localhost ~]# Signed-off-by: Yi Yang Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
