[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] alarmtimer: Lock k_itimer during timer callback

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Richard Larocque <rlarocque@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 474e941bed9262f5fa2394f9a4a67e24499e5926 upstream.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.

The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn().  The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.
