timers: Provide timer_shutdown[_sync]()

2022-11-24T14:09:12+00:00

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown(). timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

timers: Rename del_timer() to timer_delete()

2022-11-24T14:09:11+00:00

The timer related functions do not have a strict timer_ prefixed namespace which is really annoying. Rename del_timer() to timer_delete() and provide del_timer() as a wrapper. Document that del_timer() is not for new code.

timers: Use del_timer_sync() even on UP

2022-11-24T14:09:11+00:00

del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked while the timer callback function is executed. This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback. Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE. del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation. Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally available.

timers: Get rid of del_singleshot_timer_sync()

2022-11-24T14:09:10+00:00

del_singleshot_timer_sync() used to be an optimization for deleting timers which are not rearmed from the timer callback function. This optimization turned out to be broken and got mapped to del_timer_sync() about 17 years ago. Get rid of the undocumented indirection and use del_timer_sync() directly. No functional change.

timers: Mask invalid flags in do_init_timer()

2020-09-24T20:12:18+00:00

do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid. If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock. Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are supplied and masks them out.
