From fd450b7318b75343fd76b3d95416853e34e72c95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 00:08:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] timers: introduce try_to_del_timer_sync() This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions. The new one, try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer. It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which can prevent completion of the timer's handler. NOTE. Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because ->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP. Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in set_running_timer(), it is cheap.
