They are no longer required since the | timer wheel rework. The timer wheel rework made it possible to have a raw_spin_lock_t in the timer_list timer. The problem with MCE was that it enqueued a timer from hardirq context which is now possible. So the patches are no longer required. This revert does not fix a bug in v4.14 nor does it break anything. > Thanks, > > -- Steve Sebastian
