Subject: [PATCH 10/12] hrtimer: Update hrtimer_resolution only if value changes
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:14:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919001428.3133388-10-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5dca353c-6b3f-4d01-8808-bef2c0dd7af7@paulmck-laptop>
Currently, the hrtimer_switch_to_hres() function unconditionally updates
hrtimer_resolution to HIGH_RES_NSEC. This causes KCSAN false positives
in kernels built with CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y. It also causes unnecessary
cache-line traffic on the many code paths that load hrtimer_resolution,
which is especially regrettable because the value of hrtimer_resolution
normally changes only once during the lifetime of a given kernel.
Therefore, update the value of hrtimer_resolution to HIGH_RES_NSEC only
if it does not already have that value.
