[PATCH 3/9] posix timer requeue handling

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

 



This changes the requeue handling of normal posix timers, instead of a counter
it has now three states: 0 - the timer is idle or running normally, 1 - signal
is queued and callback is pending, 2 - callback is late and timer is stopped
and must be restarted.

This also means if signal callback is still pending, we start the timer but
keep the signal pending, so when the timer expires, it won't touch the signal
structure, which may be read by another cpu at this time to finally deliver the
signal.

This allows to keep the timer running and allows later to keep the common path
smaller (especially most of schedule_next_timer()).
