Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: Use hard expiry when updating timers on the same base
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 23:11:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907211134.3854-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)

Rearming a queued timer with nonzero slack can leave the timerqueue out
of order. remove_and_enqueue_same_base() checks the new soft expiry
against its neighbours' hard expiries, then stores the new hard expiry
in the node without requeueing it.

For example, with A at 10 and B at 20, rearming A at 11 with slack 30
passes the neighbour check but leaves A's hard expiry of 41 before B's
20. The same function also caches the soft expiry in base->expires_next
when updating or inserting the first timer, giving next-event selection
an earlier deadline than the queue head's hard expiry.

Compute the hard expiry with the same saturating addition used by
hrtimer_set_expires_range_ns(). Use it for the in-place ordering check
and both updates to base->expires_next.

Fixes: eddffab8282e3 ("hrtimer: Keep track of first expiring timer per clock base")
Fixes: 343f2f4dc5425 ("hrtimer: Try to modify timers in place")
