I don't think anyone replied. I assume from your above statement that there wasn't really a strong reason for the rename, and that a new patch series is in the offing, which adds ktimers and leaves timer_list alone? Is ktimer a better name than ptimer or hrtimer? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
