From: Martin Schwidefsky The clock synchronization of the ETR code requires an smp_call_function to synchronize all cpus. Calling smp_call_function from a tasklet is illegal. Replace the tasklet with a job on the global workqueue. ETR work is rare and can be postponed to a be done by a kernel thread.
