Retrigger_next_event() must be called with interrupts disabled. All internal (to hrtimer.c) uses of retrigger_next_event() are correct. But the version exported to other files, hres_timers_resume(), does not do the IRQ blocking, nor does the (single) external caller of it.
Rather than require that users of hres_timers_resume() do the IRQ blocking, this patch makes the blocking part of the hres_timers_resume() functionality. (Also remove the meaningless WARN_ON_ONCE() call in hres_timers_resume) Signed-off-by: Joe Korty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Index: 2.6.23-rc3/kernel/hrtimer.c =================================================================== --- 2.6.23-rc3.orig/kernel/hrtimer.c 2007-08-13 18:30:09.000000000 -0400 +++ 2.6.23-rc3/kernel/hrtimer.c 2007-08-13 18:38:48.000000000 -0400 @@ -463,10 +463,11 @@ */ void hres_timers_resume(void) { - WARN_ON_ONCE(num_online_cpus() > 1); + unsigned long flags; - /* Retrigger the CPU local events: */ + local_irq_save(flags); retrigger_next_event(NULL); + local_irq_restore(flags); } /* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
