Hi Sebastian,

If alarm_try_to_cancel() requires a retry, then depending on the

on RT. Prevent that by waiting for completion on RT, no change for a
non RT kernel.

How relevant is this serie for trees before eae1c4ae275f ("posix-timers: Make use of cancel/arm callbacks")? Patch #2 seems to depend on that change which was added in v4.12.

Thanks,
Daniel
