[patch 1/4] Timerfd v3 - introduce a new hrtimer_forward_now() function

From: Davide Libenzi
Date: Sun Nov 25 2007 - 17:14:32 EST


I think that advancing the timer against the timer's current "now" can
be a pretty common usage, so, w/out exposing hrtimer's internals, we add
a new hrtimer_forward_now() function.
