From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch. If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know. --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- If alarm_try_to_cancel() requires a retry, then depending on the priority setting the retry loop might prevent timer callback completion on RT. Prevent that by waiting for completion on RT, no change for a non RT kernel.
