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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
