Ok, thanks for the info. I'll add the signoff and send a v3.

I can't find it there and also the change is not included in linux-
6.1.y or 6.1.53. There is another commit referencing this patch (linux-
6.1.y, fd4d61f85e7625cb21a7eff4efa1de46503ed2c3), but the "hrtimer:
Ignore slack time ..." patch did not get backported so far.
I also checked the source of v6.1.y and could not find the related
change. Which commit exactly are you referring to?
