[PATCH] hrtimers: fix posix-timer requeue race
From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>
CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function. The signal is
queued.
After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.
The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.
Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue. In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.
