[PATCH 02/11] hrtimer: fix rq->lock inversion (again)

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 07:26:28 EST


It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the hrtimer_start()
path when I delegated running already expired timers to softirq context.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that
will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids
the wakeup.

It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup
then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really
needed.
