[PATCH 06/21] ntp: Read reference time only once
Posted by Anna-Maria Behnsen 2 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The reference time is required twice in ntp_update_offset(). It will not
change in the meantime as the calling code holds the timekeeper lock. Read
it only once and store it into a local variable.
