+Subject: hrtimer: Ensure POSIX compliance (relative CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimers)
+
+From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@linutronix.de>
+
+commit 48d0c9becc7f3c66874c100c126459a9da0fdced upstream.
+
+The POSIX specification defines that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not
+affected by clock modifications. Those timers have to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+to ensure POSIX compliance.
+
+The introduction of the additional HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED mode broke this
+requirement for pinned timers.
+
+There is no user space visible impact because user space timers are not
+using pinned mode, but for consistency reasons this needs to be fixed.
+
+Check whether the mode has the HRTIMER_MODE_REL bit set instead of
+comparing with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS.
