There is one left which does not trigger that often. The following scenario is still possible: lock(&x->lock); hrtimer_start(&x->t); unlock(&x->lock); expires: t->function(); lock(&x->lock); lock(&x->lock); if (!hrtimer_queued(&x->t)) hrtimer_start(&x->t); unlock(&x->lock); if (!list_empty(x->early_tx_list)) ret = HRTIMER_RESTART; -> hrtimer_forward_now(...) } else ret = HRTIMER_NORESTART; unlock(&x->lock); and the timer callback returns HRTIMER_RESTART for an armed timer. This is wrong and we run into the BUG_ON() in __run_hrtimer(). This can happens on SMP or PREEMPT-RT. The patch fixes the problem by only starting the timer if the timer is not yet queued.
