Linus,

Please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

# HEAD: 6bad6bccf2d717f652d37e63cf261eaa23466009 timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding

Fix four timer locking races: two were noticed by you while reviewing the code
while chasing for a corruption bug, and two from fixing spurious USB timeouts.

Thanks,

Ingo

------------------>
Thomas Gleixner (4):
timers: Plug locking race vs. timer migration
timers: Lock base for same bucket optimization
timers: Prevent base clock rewind when forwarding clock
timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding
