So because of that half thought out user space ABI we are now up the

figure out how to live with it. It isn't good to ask users to update
CRIU to work on new kernels, but here are reasons and event improvements
for CRIU, so I think it's worth it.
I agree, any API to create timers with specified id-s would work for new
CRIU versions.
The real question is whether this will cause any upheaval when a new
kernel meets a non-updated CRIU stack.
You know the UABI regression rules of the kernel...
