From ca109491f612aab5c8152207631c0444f63da97f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:43:51 +0100 Subject: hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/trace/trace_sysprof.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel/trace') diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_sysprof.c b/kernel/trace/trace_sysprof.c index 9587d3bcba55..ae542e2e38d5 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_sysprof.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_sysprof.c @@ -202,7 +202,6 @@ static void start_stack_timer(int cpu) hrtimer_init(hrtimer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL); hrtimer->function = stack_trace_timer_fn; - hrtimer->cb_mode = HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_PERCPU; hrtimer_start(hrtimer, ns_to_ktime(sample_period), HRTIMER_MODE_REL); } -- cgit v1.2.2
