From b9c3032277f756e73f6c673419dc414155e04e46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 18:08:52 +0100 Subject: hrtimer, softirq: Fix hrtimer->softirq trampoline hrtimers callbacks are always done from hardirq context, either the jiffy tick interrupt or the hrtimer device interrupt. [ there is currently one exception that can still call a hrtimer callback from softirq, but even in that case this will still work correctly. ] Reported-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Yury Polyanskiy Tested-by: Wei Yongjun Acked-by: David S.
