    timer: Write timer->flags atomically · d0023a14
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    lock_timer_base() cannot prevent the following :
    
    CPU1 ( in __mod_timer()
    timer->flags |= TIMER_MIGRATING;
    spin_unlock(&base->lock);
    base = new_base;
    spin_lock(&base->lock);
    // The next line clears TIMER_MIGRATING
    timer->flags &= ~TIMER_BASEMASK;
                                      CPU2 (in lock_timer_base())
                                      see timer base is cpu0 base
                                      spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock, *flags);
                                      if (timer->flags == tf)
                                           return base; // oops, wrong base
    timer->flags |= base->cpu // too late
    
    We must write timer->flags in one go, otherwise we can fool other cpus.
