From 4b7a1304267bff68260ae861784b27130e805be3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:47:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] posix timers: timer_delete: remove the bogus "->it_process != NULL" check sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete() check "timer->it_process != NULL", this looks completely bogus. ->it_process == NULL means that this timer is already under destruction or it is not fully initialized, this must not happen. sys_timer_delete: the timer is locked, and lock_timer() can't succeed if ->it_process == NULL. itimer_delete: it is called by exit_itimers() when there are no other threads which can play with signal_struct->posix_timers.
