SubjectRe: [PATCH] Replace timer_bh with tasklet
From

At this point I am only aware of one place in the kernel where timers and
other BH code interact, that being deliver_to_old_ones() in net/core/dev.c.

Are you absolutely sure? What about serial drivers and the TTY layer?
Have you audited all of that code too? What about SCSI_BH? What
about IMMEDIATE_BH, TQUEUE_BH? Do they interact non-trivially with
timers too?

Alexey is right, there needs to be a real audit here before this
patch may be considered.
