[PATCH 1/2] hrtimer: Remove unused next_timer argument from __hrtimer_reprogram()

From: Zhan Xusheng

Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 05:40:16 EST


__hrtimer_reprogram() takes a @next_timer argument but never references
it; it only stores @expires_next into cpu_base->expires_next and
reprograms the clock event device. The argument has been unused since
commit b14bca97c9f5 ("hrtimer: Consolidate reprogramming code").

Drop it and update the two callers. No functional change.
