I compared mine outcome vs v4.19-rt-next and the diff at the bottom came
out:
- timer_delete_sync() used to have "#if 0" block around
lockdep_assert_preemption_enabled() because the function is not part
of v4.19. You ended up with might_sleep() which is a minor change.
Your queue as of a previous release had the if0 block (in
__del_timer_sync()).
I would say this is minor but looks like a miss-merge. Therefore I
would say it should go back for consistency vs previous release and
not change it due to conflicts.
- The timer_delete_sync() is structured differently with
__del_timer_sync(). That function invokes timer_sync_wait_running()
which drops two locks which are not acquired. That is wrong. It should
have been del_timer_wait_running().
I suggest you apply the diff below to align it with later versions. It
also gets rid of the basep argument in __try_to_del_timer_sync() which
is not really used.
As an alternative I can send you my rebased queue if this makes it
easier for you.
