3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nathan Zimmer <nzimmer@xxxxxxx> commit 84a78a6504f5c5394a8e558702e5b54131f01d14 upstream. Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger. When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so not really that small, there was one could get hung trying to read the file a chunk at a time. The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.
