timers: Provide timer_shutdown[_sync]()

2026-02-11T12:35:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit f571faf6e443b6011ccb585d57866177af1f643c ] Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown(). timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

timers: Rename del_timer() to timer_delete()

[ Upstream commit bb663f0f3c396c6d05f6c5eeeea96ced20ff112e ] The timer related functions do not have a strict timer_ prefixed namespace which is really annoying. Rename del_timer() to timer_delete() and provide del_timer() as a wrapper. Document that del_timer() is not for new code.

timers: Get rid of del_singleshot_timer_sync()

2026-02-11T12:35:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9a5a305686971f4be10c6d7251c8348d74b3e014 ] del_singleshot_timer_sync() used to be an optimization for deleting timers which are not rearmed from the timer callback function. This optimization turned out to be broken and got mapped to del_timer_sync() about 17 years ago. Get rid of the undocumented indirection and use del_timer_sync() directly. No functional change.

nvme-pci: do not directly handle subsys reset fallout

2026-02-06T15:42:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 210b1f6576e8b367907e7ff51ef425062e1468e4 ] Scheduling reset_work after a nvme subsystem reset is expected to fail on pcie, but this also prevents potential handling the platform's pcie services may provide that might successfully recovering the link without re-enumeration. Such examples include AER, DPC, and power's EEH. Provide a pci specific operation that safely initiates a subsystem reset, and instead of scheduling reset work, read back the status register to trigger a pcie read error. Since this only affects pci, the other fabrics drivers subscribe to a generic nvmf subsystem reset that is exactly the same as before. The loop fabric doesn't use it because nvmet doesn't support setting that property anyway. And since we're using the magic NSSR value in two places now, provide a symbolic define for it.

posix-clock: Store file pointer in struct posix_clock_context

[ Upstream commit e859d375d1694488015e6804bfeea527a0b25b9f ] File descriptor based pc_clock_*() operations of dynamic posix clocks have access to the file pointer and implement permission checks in the generic code before invoking the relevant dynamic clock callback. Character device operations (open, read, poll, ioctl) do not implement a generic permission control and the dynamic clock callbacks have no access to the file pointer to implement them. Extend struct posix_clock_context with a struct file pointer and initialize it in posix_clock_open(), so that all dynamic clock callbacks can access it.
