The patch titled posix-cpu-timers: initialize new_itimer->it.cpu.firing has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was posix-cpu-timers-initialize-new_itimer-itcpufiring.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: posix-cpu-timers: initialize new_itimer->it.cpu.firing From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx> In case when posix_cpu_timer_create() is called from sys_timer_create() it.cpu.firing field of struct k_itimer is uninitialized.
