From f2655ac2c06a15558e51ed6529de280e1553c86e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" paulmck@kernel.org Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2024 08:46:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Fix brown-bag boolean thinko in cs_watchdog_read()
The current "nretries > 1 || nretries >= max_retries" check in cs_watchdog_read() will always evaluate to true, and thus pr_warn(), if nretries is greater than 1. The intent is instead to never warn on the first try, but otherwise warn if the successful retry was the last retry.
Therefore, change that "||" to "&&".
