From
Subject[PATCH] Wait to remove active timer when rescheduling hrtimer
Date
In the current hrtimer implementation, when explicitly
removing a timer, the hrtimer_cancel function waits
until the timer is not currently running before actually
calling remove_hrtimer. But in the __hrtimer_start_range_ns
function (called by hrtimer_start, among others), it
calls remove_hrtimer without checking to see if the
timer is currently running. This doesn't seem to cause
much trouble in the vanilla kernel, but in the -RT
kernel, this causes a silent hang when exercising the
sch_htb module on a 10GbE interface.
