Subject: [PATCH 2/2] timers: Fix warning in __run_timers()
Date: Tue,  5 Apr 2022 21:17:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220405191732.7438-3-anna-maria@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220405191732.7438-1-anna-maria@linutronix.de>

When the timer base is empty, base::next_expiry is set to base::clk +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA and base::next_expiry_recalc is false. When no timer
is queued until jiffies reaches base::next_expiry value, the warning for
not finding any expired timer and base::next_expiry_recalc is false in
__run_timers() triggers.

To prevent triggering the warning in this valid scenario
base::timers_pending needs to be added to the warning condition.

Fixes: 31cd0e119d50 ("timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when necessary")
