Subject: [PATCH] ARM: timer: Shutdown clock event device when stopping local timer
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:24:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364549049-29278-1-git-send-email-ning.n.jiang@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Ning Jiang <ning.n.jiang@gmail.com>

Currently there are two problems when we try to stop local timer.
First, it calls set_mode function directly so mode state is not
updated for the clock event device. Second, it makes the device
unused instead of shutdown.

A subtle error will happen because of it. When a cpu is plugged out
it will stop the local timer. It will call tick_nohz_idle_enter()
in idle thread afterwards. It will cancel the sched timer and try
to reprogram the next event. This is wrong since the local timer
is supposed to be stopped.

The right way to stop the local timer is to shutdown it by calling
clockevents_set_mode(). Thus when we try to reprogram the clock
event device, it will return directly without doing anything since
the clock mode is CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN.
