Subject: [patch 4/8] posix-timers: Move POSIX timer group exit related code out of do_exit()
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2026 13:22:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904112202.239196705@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904112100.683893401@kernel.org>
Move the POSIX timer group exit handling into the posix timer code and
provide a proper stub when POSIX timers are disabled in Kconfig.
No functional change.
