      hrtimer: timeout too long when using HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ · d7b41a24

      When using hrtimer with timer->cb_mode == HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ
      in some cases the clockevent is not programmed.
      This happens, if:
       - a timer is rearmed while it's state is HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
       - hrtimer_reprogram() returns -ETIME, when it is called after
         CALLBACK is finished. This occurs if the new timer->expires
         is in the past when CALLBACK is done.
      In this case, the timer needs to be removed from the tree and put
      onto the pending list again.
      
      The patch is against 2.6.22.5, but AFAICS, it is relevant
      for 2.6.25 also (in run_hrtimer_pending()).
