From bf635681c906ad056d1fda325de8d1c12c9f8201 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2024 09:14:33 +0100 Subject: posix-cpu-timers: Cleanup the firing logic The firing flag of a posix CPU timer is tristate: 0: when the timer is not about to deliver a signal 1: when the timer has expired, but the signal has not been delivered yet -1: when the timer was queued for signal delivery and a rearm operation raced against it and supressed the signal delivery. This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm consistent with the rest of the posix timers. Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add comments why the timer cannot be dequeued right away.
