[PATCH] linux-2.5.55_timer-none_A0

From: john stultz (johnstul@us.ibm.com)
Date: Thu Jan 09 2003 - 19:49:04 EST


Linus, All,

        Just a re-sync against 2.5.55. This patch creates an empty timer_opt
structure (timer_none) which is then used as a default initializer to
the timer pointer. This lets us avoid having to check before
dereferencing the timer in future code.

Please apply.

thanks
