3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Segall <bsegall@xxxxxxxxxx> commit db06e78cc13d70f10877e0557becc88ab3ad2be8 upstream. hrtimer_expires_remaining does not take internal hrtimer locks and thus must be guarded against concurrent __hrtimer_start_range_ns (but returning HRTIMER_RESTART is safe). Use cfs_b->lock to make it safe.
