timer: Write timer->flags atomically
lock_timer_base() cannot prevent the following : CPU1 ( in __mod_timer() timer->flags |= TIMER_MIGRATING; spin_unlock(&base->lock); base = new_base; spin_lock(&base->lock); // The next line clears TIMER_MIGRATING timer->flags &= ~TIMER_BASEMASK; CPU2 (in lock_timer_base()) see timer base is cpu0 base spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags); if (timer->flags == tf) return base; // oops, wrong base timer->flags |= base->cpu // too late We must write timer->flags in one go, otherwise we can fool other cpus.
