Here this:

int first_free_id = sig->posix_timer_id;

runs concurrently with:

if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
    sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
if ((sig->posix_timer_id == first_free_id) && (ret == -ENOENT))
    /* Loop over all possible ids completed */
    ret = -EAGAIN;

I am not sure how important/realistic this wrap-around handling is,
but as the result of the race first_free_id can be negative (if it
reads the value at just the right moment). Then wrap-around will never
be detected and the loop will loop forever uninterruptably.
