commit 0c52310f260014d95c1310364379772cb74cf82d upstream.
While in theory the timer can be triggered before expires + delta, for the cases of RT tasks they really have no business giving any lenience for extra slack time, so override any passed value by the user and always use zero for schedule_hrtimeout_range() calls. Furthermore, this is similar to what the nanosleep(2) family already does with current-
timer_slack_ns.

You can't forward on a patch without signing off on it as well :(
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll add the signoff and send a v3.
And this is already in the 6.1.53 release, why apply it again?
I can't find it there and also the change is not included in linux- 6.1.y or 6.1.53. There is another commit referencing this patch (linux- 6.1.y, fd4d61f85e7625cb21a7eff4efa1de46503ed2c3), but the "hrtimer: Ignore slack time ..." patch did not get backported so far. I also checked the source of v6.1.y and could not find the related change. Which commit exactly are you referring to?
