Hi, I think your confused: this is a user mode test case to trigger the bug, not the actual kernel fix. IIUC, the code is setting system time 10 seconds before the next day (23:59:50 UTC) then tells the kernel that it needs to insert a leap second, which will be done at 23:59:60. BR.

you're correct, (i'm incorrect), i read the "proposed fix thread" and 'leap'ed that it was a proposed fix patch. ...shutt'n-up now boss.
