One more detail useful to note to appreciate this patch is that the call
to posix_cpu_timer_schedule() from cpu_timer_fire() is done
exceptionnaly when the timer signal generation fails.
The normal processing will call posix_cpu_timer_schedule() from a
different context in do_schedule_next_timer()
When a periodic process timer is fired, a signal is generated.
Rearming the timer, if necessary, will be performed in a second step
when the signal will be delivered.
Hence, checking the list of process timers list to decide to stop to cpu
timer right after generating the signal is premature and
2 matches
