To simplify the review, I am posting the code with this patch applied.

static struct k_itimer *lock_timer(timer_t timer_id, unsigned long *flags)
{
struct k_itimer *timr;
/*
* Watch out here. We do a irqsave on the idr_lock and pass the
* flags part over to the timer lock. Must not let interrupts in
* while we are moving the lock.
*/
spin_lock_irqsave(&idr_lock, *flags);
timr = idr_find(&posix_timers_id, (int)timer_id);
if (timr) {
spin_lock(&timr->it_lock);
if (timr->it_process &&
same_thread_group(timr->it_process, current)) {
spin_unlock(&idr_lock);
return timr;
}
spin_unlock(&timr->it_lock);
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&idr_lock, *flags);

return NULL;
}

Oleg.
