This should rather be (tflags & TIMER_CPUMASK) to avoid using
per_cpu_ptr() with the TIMER_MIGRATING bit set in the CPU index.
The one caller in this patch is okay, since it already checks that
TIMER_MIGRATING is clear:

However, in patch #20, we'll have this in __mod_timer();
/*
* Take the current timer_jiffies of base, but without holding
* the lock!
*/
base = get_timer_base(timer->flags);
Thanks,
