Hi,Mike & Steven On https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/24/1178, the patch of "timers: do not raise softirq unconditionally" is reverted. Thanks for Steven's detailed comments, it's quite clear explained. I remember Mike has a patch trying to fix it but late abandoned. Do you still have any plan to work on this? Otherwise, I will have a try.
