[RFC PATCH 1/3] hrtimer: balance irq save/restore

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hrtimers uses a trick where irq flags are saved initially and then
passed to callers to restore irqs when dropping the lock, which then
re-lock with raw_spin_lock_irq.

This is not actually a bug, but it is one of the few places in the
kernel that may disable irqs when they are already disabled. It would
be nice to have a debug check for that and enforce irq calls are
balanced. It's one thing for core code to be clever, but something like
this in a crufty driver could be a red flag.
