Subject: [patch V2 05/17] posix-timers: Remove SLAB_PANIC from kmem cache
Date: Sun,  2 Mar 2025 20:36:51 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250302193627.229366917@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250302185753.311903554@linutronix.de>

There is no need to panic when the posix-timer kmem_cache can't be
created. timer_create() will fail with -ENOMEM and that's it.
