[PATCH 1/3] posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2)

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Currently kernel generates IDs for posix timers in a global manner --
there's a kernel-wide IDR tree from which IDs are created. This makes
it impossible to recreate a timer with a desired ID (in particulat
this is done by the CRIU checkpoint-restore project) -- since these
IDs are global it may happen, that at the time we recreate a timer, the
ID we want for it is already busy by some other timer.

In order to address this, I'd like to replace the mentioned IDR tree
with global hash table for timers and makes timer IDs unique per
signal_struct (to which timers are linked anyway). With this, two
timers belonging to different tasks may have equal IDs and we can
recreate either of them with ID we want.

 /*
- * Management arrays for POSIX timers.	 Timers are kept in slab memory
- * Timer ids are allocated by an external routine that keeps track of the
- * id and the timer.  The external interface is:
- *
- * void *idr_find(struct idr *idp, int id);           to find timer_id <id>
- * int idr_get_new(struct idr *idp, void *ptr);       to get a new id and
- *                                                    related it to <ptr>
- * void idr_remove(struct idr *idp, int id);          to release <id>
- * void idr_init(struct idr *idp);                    to initialize <idp>
- *                                                    which we supply.
- * The idr_get_new *may* call slab for more memory so it must not be
- * called under a spin lock.  Likewise idr_remore may release memory
- * (but it may be ok to do this under a lock...).
- * idr_find is just a memory look up and is quite fast.  A -1 return
- * indicates that the requested id does not exist.
+ * Management arrays for POSIX timers. Timers are now kept in static hash table
+ * with 512 entries.
+ * Timer ids are allocated by local routine, which selects proper hash head by
+ * key, constructed from current->signal address and per signal struct counter.
+ * This keeps timer ids unique per process, but now they can intersect between
+ * processes.
