Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Alarmtimer fixes for 3.1
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:43:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313019816-32519-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)

Hey Thomas,

In reviewing the alarmtimer code, I ran across a few bugs that should be
fixed for 3.1 and backported to 3.0-stable.

These are also available in the git repository at:
  git://git.linaro.org/people/jstultz/linux.git fortglx/3.1/tip/timers/alarmtimers


The last of these is a pretty terrible hack, but I've got a more invasive
fix (along with other cleanups) queued on top of these for 3.2 that should
resolve it. Feel free to take a peek at those changes here:
  git://git.linaro.org/people/jstultz/linux.git fortglx/3.2/tip/timers/alarmtimers

Let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback!

thanks
-john
