We want to make sure that now_offset is still valid for the current date: another thread could very well have updated it by detecting a backwards jump, and at the very same moment the time got fixed again, that we retrieve and add to the new offset, which results in a larger jump. Normally, for this to happen, it would mean that before_poll was also affected by the jump and was detected before and bounded within 2 seconds, resulting in max 2 seconds perturbations. Here we try to detect this situation and fall back to re-adjusting the offset instead. It's more of a strengthening of what's done by commit e8b1ad4c2b ("BUG/MEDIUM: clock: also update the date offset on time jumps") than a pure fix, in that the issue was not direclty observed but it's visibly possible by reading the code, so this should be backported along with the patch above. This is related to issue GH #2704. Note that this could be simplified in terms of operations by migrating the deadlines to nanoseconds, but this was the path to least intrusive changes.
HAProxy

Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
