Subject: [patch V2 05/11] posix-timers: Switch to hrtimer_start_expires_user()
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:54:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408114952.266001916@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260408102356.783133335@kernel.org
Switch the arm and rearm callbacks for hrtimer based posix timers over to
hrtimer_start_expires_user() so that already expired timers are not
queued. Hand the result back to the caller, which then queues the signal.
