The lookup and locking of posix timers requires the same repeating pattern at all usage sites: tmr = lock_timer(tiner_id); if (!tmr) return -EINVAL; .... unlock_timer(tmr); Solve this with a guard implementation, which works in most places out of the box except for those, which need to unlock the timer inside the guard scope. Though the only places where this matters are timer_delete() and timer_settime(). In both cases the timer pointer needs to be preserved across the end of the scope, which is solved by storing the pointer in a variable outside of the scope. timer_settime() also has to protect the timer with RCU before unlocking, which obviously can't use guard(rcu) before leaving the guard scope as that guard is cleaned up before the unlock. Solve this by providing the RCU protection open coded.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
