      time: Move ktime_t overflow checking into timespec_valid_strict · cee58483
      John Stultz authored
      Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
      timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of
      timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
      timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.
      
      Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
      never expire, which is valid.
      
      This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
      timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
      internal checking to use this more strict function.
