It is not convenient. It is more reasonable to add the support for the alarm time relative to current RTC time.(the unit is second) For example: If the RTC is required to generate alarm after 2 minutes, the following will be OK. echo +120 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm or echo +0x78 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: David Brownell Cc: Alessandro Zummo Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c index 4d27ccc4fc..2531ce4c9d 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-sysfs.c @@ -145,6 +145,8 @@ rtc_sysfs_set_wakealarm(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, unsigned long now, alarm; struct rtc_wkalrm alm; struct rtc_device *rtc = to_rtc_device(dev); + char *buf_ptr; + int adjust = 0; /* Only request alarms that trigger in the future.
