hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer()
The race is described as follows:
CPU X CPU Y
remove_hrtimer
// state & QUEUED == 0
timer->state = CALLBACK
unlock timer base
timer->f(n) //very long
hrtimer_start
lock timer base
remove_hrtimer // no effect
hrtimer_enqueue
timer->state = CALLBACK |
QUEUED
unlock timer base
hrtimer_start
lock timer base
remove_hrtimer
mode = INACTIVE
// CALLBACK bit lost!
switch_hrtimer_base
CALLBACK bit not set:
timer->base
changes to a
different CPU.
lock this CPU's timer base
The bug was introduced with commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur
callback modes) in 2.6.29
[ tglx: Feed new state via local variable and add a comment. ]
