Subject: [patch 6/6] posix-cpu-timers: Make PID=0 and PID=self handling consistent
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2019 14:03:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190905120540.162032542@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190905120339.561100423@linutronix.de

If the PID encoded into the clock id is 0 then the target is either the
calling thread itself or the process to which it belongs.

If the current thread encodes its own PID on a process wide clock then
there is no reason not to treat it in the same way as the PID=0 case.
