Subject: [patch 08/12] alarmtimer: Convert posix timer functions to alarmtimer_start()
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:54:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407083248.035227538@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260407083219.478203185@kernel.org

Use the new alarmtimer_start() 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.
