  - io_uring/napi: make stale entries time out after 60s With dynamic tracking a NAPI id that hasn't been seen
    for a minute is meant to be dropped from the list the ring busy polls. The timeout is added to jiffies,
    but it is defined as 60 * SEC_CONVERSION, and SEC_CONVERSION isn't the number of jiffies in a second. It
    is the internal factor of __timespec64_to_jiffies(), HZ scaled up by SEC_JIFFIE_SC bits. For HZ=1000 that
    is 1000 << 22, which puts the timeout at about eight years. On 32-bit the multiplication overflows. So
    entries are never removed, and every id that a socket of the ring ever had keeps being polled on each
    wait. (CVE-2026-99267)
