X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc2~134
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc1978d404befacd272d0321ef749cc3192e488b;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] hrtimers: fixup itimer conversion

The itimer conversion removed the locking which protects the timer and
variables in the shared signal structure.  Steven Rostedt found the problem in
the latest -rt patches.
