Subject: [patch V2 07/11] alarmtimer: Convert posix timer functions to alarm_start_timer()
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:54:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408114952.400451460@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260408102356.783133335@kernel.org
Use the new alarm_start_timer() for arming and rearming posix interval
timers and for clock_nanosleep() so that already expired timers do not go
through the full timer interrupt cycle.
