Yes, because that's how the timer wheel works. And I'm not going to
explain you every little detail of it.

Yes, it is.

I discussed all your patches which fall into my area of responsibility
with you and I explained to you very politely why your patches are
incorrect.

When I noticed, that you do not even understand how the timer wheel
works in detail, which is necessary to understand why the code in
__next_timer_interrupt() is correct, I asked you politely:

And you answered:

Right, it's only a recommendation. Though without proof of a failure,
I'm not going to discuss that further and I'm not going to apply a
patch.

Thanks,
