From e80eda94d3eaf1d12cfc97878eff77cd679dabc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 10:02:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Posix timers: limit number of timers firing at once Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context. So set a random limit, after which we'll handle the rest on the next timer tick. Noted by Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
