hrtimer: fix recursion deadlock by re-introducing the softirq
Impact: fix rare runtime deadlock
There are a few sites that do:
spin_lock_irq(&foo)
hrtimer_start(&bar)
__run_hrtimer(&bar)
func()
spin_lock(&foo)
which obviously deadlocks. In order to avoid this, never call __run_hrtimer()
from hrtimer_start*() context, but instead defer this to softirq context.
