Subject: [patch 06/12] posix-timers: Switch to hrtimer_start_expires_user()
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:54:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407083247.898494239@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260407083219.478203185@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.
