Obviously not. > Our customers are expecting these changes to happen asap. You surely understand that both the kernel and the manpages are available to you (Dell) free of charge. If Dell provides these things under a commercial contract to customers, then Dells customers surely can have expectations from Dell. But that's none of my and any other contributors business. If you need these changes ASAP, then either make them yourself or contract someone who can do it for you. Just making demands on a public mailing list in order to sort your business problems is neither appropriate nor acceptable. You're neither my boss nor do I have any contractual obligations with Dell. You surely achieved something. The priority of this has moved right to the bottom of my todo list. It's going to be worked on when I run out of other things to fix or if I really get bored. Both won't happen anytime soon. Thanks, Thomas

'hrtimer_forward_now()' returns zero due to bigger backward time drift. This causes timerfd_read to return 0. As per man page, read on timerfd is not expected to return 0. This patch fixes this problem.
