And 5/16 adds

+static void task_dead_dl(struct task_struct *p)
+{
+ struct hrtimer *timer = &p->dl.dl_timer;
+
+ if (hrtimer_active(timer))
+ hrtimer_try_to_cancel(timer);
+}

This looks suspicious. finish_task_switch() does put_task_struct()
after that, it is quite possible this actually frees the memory.

What if hrtimer_try_to_cancel() fails because the timer is running?
In this case __run_hrtimer() can play with the freed timer. Say, to
clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK. Not to mention dl_task_timer() itself.

Oleg.
