Subject: workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e0aecdd874d78b7129a64b056c20e529e2c916df;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work

Up to now, for delayed_works, try_to_grab_pending() couldn't be used
from IRQ handlers because IRQs may happen while
delayed_work_timer_fn() is in progress leading to indefinite -EAGAIN.

This patch makes delayed_work use the new TIMER_IRQSAFE flag for
delayed_work->timer.  This makes try_to_grab_pending() and thus
mod_delayed_work_on() safe to call from IRQ handlers.
