commit 228339662b398a59b3560cd571deb8b25b253c7e upstream. If an application calls io_uring_enter(2) with a timespec passed in, convert that timespec to ktime_t rather than jiffies. The latter does not provide the granularity the application may expect, and may in fact provided different granularity on different systems, depending on what the HZ value is configured at. Turn the timespec into an absolute ktime_t, and use that with schedule_hrtimeout() instead.

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 Restructured Text 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.
