[PATCH v2 2/7] kfence: Wrap hrtimer to provide a time source for a kfence

Sun Jul 17 12:58:02 UTC 2016


A common requirement when scheduling a task is that it should be not be
begun until a certain point in time is passed (e.g.
queue_delayed_work()).  kfence_await_hrtimer() causes the kfence to
asynchronously wait until after the appropriate time before being woken.
