Subject: [049/103] hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer()

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Salman Qazi <sqazi@...gle.com>

commit f13d4f979c518119bba5439dd2364d76d31dcd3f upstream.

The race is described as follows:

CPU X                                 CPU Y
remove_hrtimer
// state & QUEUED == 0
timer->state = CALLBACK
unlock timer base
timer->f(n) //very long
                                  hrtimer_start
                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer // no effect
                                    hrtimer_enqueue
                                    timer->state = CALLBACK |
                                                   QUEUED
                                    unlock timer base
                                  hrtimer_start
                                    lock timer base
                                    remove_hrtimer
                                        mode = INACTIVE
                                        // CALLBACK bit lost!
                                    switch_hrtimer_base
                                            CALLBACK bit not set:
                                                    timer->base
                                                    changes to a
                                                    different CPU.
lock this CPU's timer base

The bug was introduced with commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur
callback modes) in 2.6.29

[ tglx: Feed new state via local variable and add a comment. ]
