[PATCH 4.4 04/12] nohz: Fix local_timer_softirq_pending()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2018-08-07 18:55:50
Also in: lkml

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@linutronix.de>

commit 80d20d35af1edd632a5e7a3b9c0ab7ceff92769e upstream.

local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is
pending with: local_softirq_pending() & TIMER_SOFTIRQ.

This is wrong because TIMER_SOFTIRQ is the softirq number and not a
bitmask. So the test checks for the wrong bit.

Use BIT(TIMER_SOFTIRQ) instead.

Fixes: 5d62c183f9e9 ("nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()")
