Subject: [PATCH] xtime_lock vs update_process_times
This time with LKML CC'ed. Sorry for the duplication.

Subject: xtime_lock vs update_process_times
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
( repost from: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/28/101 )
Commit: d3d74453c34f8fd87674a8cf5b8a327c68f22e99
Subject: hrtimer: fixup the HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback
Broke several archs, since only Russel bothered to merge the fix,
and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm sending this for merger.
I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.
The deadlock in question was found by Russell:
IRQ handle
-> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
-> update_process_times()
-> run_local_timers()
-> hrtimer_run_queues()
-> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock
Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be removed
from under it.
