We only get here when a timeout is pending. So why don't we just do
the obvious:

--- linux-2.6.orig/kernel/futex.c
+++ linux-2.6/kernel/futex.c
@@ -1902,16 +1902,13 @@ out:
static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart)

u32 __user *uaddr = restart->futex.uaddr;

- if (restart->futex.flags & FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT) {
- t.tv64 = restart->futex.time;
- tp = &t;
- }
+ t.tv64 = restart->futex.time;
restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall;

return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, restart->futex.flags,
- restart->futex.val, tp, restart->futex.bitset);
+ restart->futex.val, &t, restart->futex.bitset);
}

Thanks,
