November 31st Hardware Bug

* [PATCH] RTC: RK808: Work around hardware bug on November 31st @ 2015-12-03 1:53 Julius Werner 2015-12-03 14:42 ` [rtc-linux] " Alexandre Belloni 2015-12-04 23:50 ` Doug Anderson 0 siblings, 2 replies; 31+ messages in thread From: Julius Werner @ 2015-12-03 1:53 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Andrew Morton Cc: Alessandro Zummo, Doug Anderson, Sonny Rao, Chris Zhong, Heiko Stuebner, linux-kernel, rtc-linux, Julius Werner In Fuzhou, China, the month of November seems to be having 31 days. That's nice and all (I'm sure you can get a lot more done in a year that way), but back here in other parts of the world we are not so lucky. Therefore, if we read that date from the RTC we should correct it to December 1st.

A screenshot of a Linux kernel mailing-list patch discussing an RTC hardware bug in which November appears to have 31 days in Fuzhou, China. The joke is the absurdly literal workaround: since November normally has only 30 days, the invalid date should be corrected to December 1st. It is used as a reaction to bizarre bugs, calendar mistakes, or overly serious technical fixes.
