SGI Altix mmtimer: allow larger number of timers per node
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The purpose of this patch to the SGI Altix specific mmtimer (posix timer)
driver is to allow a virtually infinite number of timers to be set per
node.

Timers will now be kept on a sorted per-node list and a single node-based
hardware comparator is used to trigger the next timer.
