Subject[GIT PULL] Alarmtimer fixes for 3.1
From
Date
Hey Thomas, Ingo, Andrew,

Again, these were sent out earlier but still haven't been pulled. I'm
leaving for vacation for the next two weeks (although I will
occasionally check email), so I wanted to resend this so it didn't get
missed.

In reviewing the alarmtimer code, I ran across a few bugs that should be
fixed for 3.1 and backported to 3.0-stable.

These are also available in the git repository at:
git://git.linaro.org/people/jstultz/linux.git fortglx/3.1/tip/timers/alarmtimers

The last of these is a pretty terrible hack, but I've got a more
invasive fix (along with other cleanups) queued on top of these for 3.2
that should resolve it. Feel free to take a peek at those changes here:
git://git.linaro.org/people/jstultz/linux.git fortglx/3.2/tip/timers/alarmtimers

Let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback!

thanks
-john
