hrtimer: migration: do not check expiry time on current CPU
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current programmed next event. Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip the expiry check if this is the case. The bug was triggered from the networking code. The patch fixes the regression http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13738 (Soft-Lockup/Race in networking in 2.6.31-rc1+195) Cc: Arun Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com Tested-by: Joao Correia <joaomiguelcorreia@gmail.com> Tested-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
