timers: add mod_timer_pending()

2009-02-18T18:26:33+00:00

Impact: new timer API Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger: introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer() offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers. (regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.) This is useful for the networking code in that it can allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer from being reactivated again. Also while at it: - optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated in __mod_timer(). - make the exports come straight after the function, as most other exports in timer.c already did. - eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the users to mod_timer(). The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to the simplifications.

timer: implement lockdep deadlock detection

2009-02-14T22:25:52+00:00

This modifies the timer code in a way to allow lockdep to detect deadlocks resulting from a lock being taken in the timer function as well as around the del_timer_sync() call. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Add round_jiffies_up and related routines

2008-11-06T07:42:48+00:00

This patch (as1158b) adds round_jiffies_up() and friends. These routines work like the analogous round_jiffies() functions, except that they will never round down. The new routines will be useful for timeouts where we don't care exactly when the timer expires, provided it doesn't expire too soon. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

debugobjects: add timer specific object debugging code

2008-04-30T15:29:53+00:00

Add calls to the generic object debugging infrastructure and provide fixup functions which allow to keep the system alive when recoverable problems have been detected by the object debugging core code.

Add a flag to indicate deferrable timers in /proc/timer_stats

2007-07-16T16:05:45+00:00

Add a flag in /proc/timer_stats to indicate deferrable timers. This will let developers/users to differentiate between types of tiemrs in /proc/timer_stats. Deferrable timer and normal timer will appear in /proc/timer_stats as below. 10D, 1 swapper queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn) 10, 1 swapper queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn) Also version of timer_stats changes from v0.1 to v0.2 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: john stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
