From 38d23a6cc16c02f7b0c920266053f340b5601735 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Sandberg Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:06:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tick: hrtimer-broadcast: Prevent endless restarting when broadcast device is unused The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically happens when a device is swapped out by tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens, the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.
