Linus,

please pull the latest timers/urgent branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-2021-09-26

up to: 8cd9da85d2bd: posix-cpu-timers: Prevent spuriously armed 0-value itimer


A single fix for the recently introduced regression in posix CPU timers
which failed to stop the timer when requested. That caused unexpected
signals to be sent to the process/thread causing malfunction.

Thanks,

tglx
