Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] timer: Improve itimers scalability

I'm going to give 4/4 a closer look to see if the races with timer
expiration make more sense to me than last time around.
(E.g. do CPU time signals even work in CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL?)

But although I haven't yet convinced myself the current code is right,
the changes don't seem to make it any worse.  So consider all four
