From 48228f7b470a74b6469a250d2977a13128d8fe96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 12:39:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] lockdep/timers: Explain in detail the locking problems del_timer_sync() may cause Twice I had to explain the output about why lockdep gives an error with locks in IRQ context and with del_timer_sync(). Might as well write it up and place it in the comments above the code in del_timer_sync(). Perhaps the next time this lockdep dump triggers people will understand the issues. It is a ticky issue and very subtle, explaining it in detail in the code may help others understand the issue when they stumble upon the bug again.
