Re: linux-next: Tree for Nov 6 (timer conversions)

[Kees Cook]

timer_setup() conversion[1] status update:

As of this -next tree, there are (at least) 243 "non trivial" conversions
staged (with a matching subject of ": Convert timers to use timer_setup"),
producing:
 723 files changed, 3390 insertions(+), 3927 deletions(-)

There are 24 outstanding non-trivial conversions (some are in-flight in
various trees and haven't appeared in -next yet, others have multi-tree
dependencies and will likely land in late -rc1).
Combined with the trivial treewide conversions it produces:
 404 files changed, 1446 insertions(+), 1914 deletions(-)

After that, all 1118 timer_setup() callsites will be finished. My
tree, based on next-20171106, is here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=kspp/timer/next/20171106/conversions
