From 8eb231261fdd20768db23863d00ef277de4b0543 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 14:11:00 +0200 Subject: tick/broadcast: Prevent hrtimer recursion The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep track of the currently running timer. local_timer_interrupt() local_handler() hrtimer_interrupt() expire_hrtimers() broadcast_hrtimer() send_ipis() local_handler() hrtimer_interrupt() .... Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.
