| |
Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.
This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag, as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.
