From ae818a38d4755ba4c16a22a8eacec859511a5393 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 10:13:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: fix bug in timer handling for the idle class There's a small window from when the timer is entered and we grab the queue lock, where cfq_set_active_queue() could be rearming the timer for us. Seen in the wild on a 12-way ppc box. Fix this by just using mod_timer(), which will do the right thing for us.
