Subject: [PATCH Resend] hrtimer: call switch_hrtimer_base() after setting new expiry time
Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 13:42:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <81999e148745fc51bbcd0615823fbab9b2e87e23.1399882253.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> (raw)

In switch_hrtimer_base() we are calling hrtimer_check_target() which guarantees
this:

/*
 * With HIGHRES=y we do not migrate the timer when it is expiring
 * before the next event on the target cpu because we cannot reprogram
 * the target cpu hardware and we would cause it to fire late.
 *
 * Called with cpu_base->lock of target cpu held.
 */

But switch_hrtimer_base() is only called from one place, i.e.
__hrtimer_start_range_ns() and at that point (where we call
switch_hrtimer_base()) expiration time is not yet known as we call this routine
later: hrtimer_set_expires_range_ns().

To fix this, we need to find the updated expiry time before calling
switch_hrtimer_base().
