Hi, while looking at the old syzkaller reports, I noticed that there are still some possible races around closing the timer object. Here is a patch set to cover it as well as some relevant cleanups / fixes. I haven't set stable to Cc in them since they are really corner cases, and they haven't been tested much. But they should be safe (and easy) to backport, too, if any.
