From 4fae16dffb812f0e0d98a0b2b0856ca48ca63e6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Cochran Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 11:08:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] timers/core: Correct callback order during CPU hot plug On the tear-down path, the dead CPU callback for the timers was misplaced within the 'cpuhp_state' enumeration. There is a hidden dependency between the timers and block multiqueue. The timers callback must happen before the block multiqueue callback otherwise a RCU stall occurs. Move the timers callback to the proper place in the state machine.
