Your patch is awesome, and I tried your example and it works, my 
call_back() is called after a certained time.  But  I am confued that 
the bpf_timer_cb() function only returns HRTIMER_NORESTART,

how to trigger a periodic task, that means I want to call my call_back() 
periodically, not just for one time ?
