[PATCH V2 0/4] posix-timers: Reduce spinlock contention

[Eric Dumazet]

We had incidents involving gazillions of concurrent posix timers.

In this series, I am reducing hash_lock contention in posix_timer_add(),
and fix a possible race.

v2: Initialize timer->it_id and timer->it_signal to non zero values
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250214135911.2037402-1-edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx/

Eric Dumazet (4):
  posix-timers: Make next_posix_timer_id an atomic_t
  posix-timers: Initialise timer->it_id in posix_timer_add()
  posix-timers: Initialise timer->it_signal in posix_timer_add()
  posix-timers: Use RCU in posix_timer_add()
